Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
