Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may 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 support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine 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.
