Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help 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 specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
