Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Jenkintown, PA.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on 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 recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
