Addiction treatment centers which cater to the unique 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 entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.
Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab facilities 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 health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
