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

Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
