Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse 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 considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
