Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Macungie, PA.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
