Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. 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 professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
