Addiction treatment centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers 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 considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
