Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic 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 or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
