Addiction rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may 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 provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities 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 considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
