Addiction treatment facilities which serve the specific 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 when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
