Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
