Substance abuse treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services 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 challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
