Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities 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 age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
