Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need 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.
