Substance abuse treatment 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 centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs 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 considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. 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 the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
