Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.
Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
