Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 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 healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
