Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Markleysburg, 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 focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 establish 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.
