Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
