Addiction treatment programs 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 going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs 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.
