Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery 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 unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at addiction treatment 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 considering any unique mental or physical impairments and 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 or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
