Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Fannettsburg, PA.

Substance abuse treatment centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same 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 engage fully in group sessions with younger clients 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 solace to work through the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 counselors 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
