Addiction treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab 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 unique mental or physical 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine 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.
