Drug and alcohol treatment centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse treatment centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
