Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older 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 demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum 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 experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
