Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery 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.
