Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
