Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful 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 support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group 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 counselors 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions 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.
