Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific 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 these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction 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 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 such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
