Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Bear Creek, PA.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
