Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs 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 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 presented with audio or verbal 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
