Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Dover, PA.

Addiction treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
