Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
