Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help 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 specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 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 audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
