Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require 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 prolong their life.
