Addiction treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
