Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Entriken, PA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

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

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