Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
