Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
