Substance abuse rehab programs which serve 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 seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
