Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the unique 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 these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at addiction 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
