Substance abuse treatment centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs 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 physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
