Substance abuse rehab programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification 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 prolong their life.
