Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
