Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic 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 counselors who are experienced with 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
