Substance abuse treatment centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help 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 understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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 curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
