Addiction rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification 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.
