Addiction treatment facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out 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.
