Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful 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 unique difficulties they face. 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 unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab programs 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
