Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
