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

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on 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 group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the 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 recovery many need medical assistance 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
