Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab 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 mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
