Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same 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 engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
