Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Larimer, PA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
