Addiction treatment centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
