Addiction rehab programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions 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.
