Addiction treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial 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 rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
