Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
