Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
