Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
