Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
