Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehab facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
