Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can 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 they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older 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 demographic of client faces while in rehab. 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 experienced with such 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 require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
