Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - Jim Thorpe, PA.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment 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 specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and 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 in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate 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 treatment 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
