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

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
