Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these 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 demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine 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 sustain a long and happy life.
