Addiction rehab programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment centers which 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 recovery.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer 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 subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way 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 require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine 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.
