Addiction rehab facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help 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 understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
