Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical 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 in reading material or treatment therapists 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
