Drug and alcohol rehab centers which serve the unique 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 seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way individual and group 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 assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
