Addiction treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
