Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve 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 be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may 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 difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 establish which medical drugs 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.
