Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification 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.
