Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related 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 recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox 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.
