Drug and alcohol treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities 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 group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, 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 their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
