Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
