Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset 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 therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
