Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
