Addiction rehab programs which cater 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 focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
