Addiction treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal 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 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
