Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral 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 unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on 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 group of client faces while in recovery. 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 prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
