Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
