Substance abuse treatment centers which provide services to the specific 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 these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in treatment.
Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials 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 such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine 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 sustain a long and happy life.
