Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. 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 offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic 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 or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
