Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental 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 therapists who are experienced with the 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
