Addiction rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may 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 provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
