Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 materials 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 such needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
