Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may 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 rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
