Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel 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 likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 unique mental or physical 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
