Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Arcola, PA.

Addiction treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral 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 age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse treatment centers 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
