Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges 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 age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
