Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
