Substance abuse rehab 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 can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
