Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol 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 physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
