Substance abuse rehab programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful 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 unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these 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 rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
