Addiction rehab centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum 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 prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
