Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
