Addiction rehab centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.
Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions 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.
