Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers 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 demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
