Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services 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 mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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 delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
