Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Grand Valley, PA.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
