Addiction rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab centers 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 considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions 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.
