Addiction rehab centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery 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 empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out 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.
