Drug and alcohol rehab centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
