Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help 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 empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance 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.
