Addiction rehabilitation centers 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 centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
