Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. 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 counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
