Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs 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.
