Addiction treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 professionals 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
