Addiction rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.
Treatment staff at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
