Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation 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 taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials 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 such 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions 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.
