Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the 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 seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
