Substance abuse treatment centers which provide services to the specific and unique 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 offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the 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 determine which medical drugs 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.
