Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
