Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which provide services to 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 they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
