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

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of 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 figure out 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.
