Addiction rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic 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 or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs 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.
