Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
