Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine 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.
