Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment programs 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 specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require 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.
