Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs 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.
