Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 recovery. 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 experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
