Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
