Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum 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 the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 determine which prescriptions 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.
