Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehab centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine 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 sustain a long and happy life.
