Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific 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 generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 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.
