Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab 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 willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group 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 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
