Drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 counselors 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 detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
