Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services 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 empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
