Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Brentwood, PA.

Addiction rehab centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs 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.
