Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
