Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine 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.
