Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
