Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. 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 means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance 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 sustain a long and happy life.
