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 centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual 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 figure out which medical drugs 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.
