Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
