Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Halifax, PA.

Addiction treatment programs 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 treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment 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 taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
