Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful 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 specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
