Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation 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 taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
