Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may 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 encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials 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 experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
