Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and 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 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
