Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these 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 curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
