Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. 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 age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
