Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
