Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful 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 treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery 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 sustain a long and happy life.
