Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which offer 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.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
