Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to 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 help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
