Addiction rehab programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services 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 empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
