Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation centers 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 physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
