Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Drifting, PA.

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

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention 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.
