Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Lightstreet, PA.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients 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 younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine 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.
