Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can 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 empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
