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

Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the 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 these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic 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 or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
