Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 intervention not just through safe detox 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.
