Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed 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 generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or 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 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
