Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 group and individual 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 safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
