Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. 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 work through the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 way 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
