Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lake Ariel, PA.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance 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 prolong their life.
