Substance abuse rehab centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
