Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention 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 prolong their life.
