Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
