Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
