Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific 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 experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
