Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
