Substance abuse rehab centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial 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 rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
