Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial 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 the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
