Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 assistance not just through safe detox 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 sustain a long and happy life.
