Addiction rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides 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 willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction treatment centers 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 considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
