Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Concord, PA.

Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab 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 programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification 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.
