Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification 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 sustain a long and happy life.
