Addiction treatment centers 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 treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 therapists who are prepared to accommodate the 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
