Addiction rehab centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused 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 empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
