Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on 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 treatment. 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, 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.
