Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials 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 experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
