Addiction rehab centers which cater to the unique 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 these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification 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 sustain a long and happy life.
