Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Kylertown, PA.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to 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 at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation 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 considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to establish 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.
