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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these 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 demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
