Drug and alcohol treatment centers 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 treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such 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 recovery many need 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
