Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
