Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 audio or verbal 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 way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions 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.
