Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful 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 understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
