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

Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
