Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that offer 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 treatment.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
