Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Gouldsboro, PA.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs that provide 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 treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
