Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
