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 particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment 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 specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum 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 means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
