Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Curwensville, PA.

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
