Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related 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 produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
