Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction treatment facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials 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 experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
