Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services 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 difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. 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 professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
