Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
