Addiction rehabilitation facilities 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 understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out 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 prolong their life.
