Substance abuse 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 centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. 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 experienced with the needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, 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 their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
