Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual 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 detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
