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

Addiction rehab facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
