Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may 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 younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older 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 subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
