Addiction rehab programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients 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 mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
