Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific and unique 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 these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities 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 challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group 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 in reading material or treatment counselors 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
