Substance abuse treatment centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
