Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Addison, PA.

Addiction rehab centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such 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 determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
