Addiction rehabilitation 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 help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification 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 prolong their life.
