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

Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these 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 group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 way 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 assistance 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 sustain a long and happy life.
