Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique 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 these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of 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 figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
