Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
