Addiction treatment facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.
Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
