Addiction rehabilitation facilities 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 focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
