Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
