Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and 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 treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions 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.
