Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions 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.
