Addiction treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
