Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Greencastle, PA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
