Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
