Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
