Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals 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 specific 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 in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
