Addiction rehab centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions 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.
