Substance abuse treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic 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 therapists 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
