Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which 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 treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic 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 such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
