Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the specific and 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 treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
