Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater 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 focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs 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 mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
