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

Substance abuse treatment centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse treatment centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such 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 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
