Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset 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 prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
