Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused 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 empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials 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 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
