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

Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. 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 therapists 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
