Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Mifflin, PA.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial 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 going to treatment and it offers 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 at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
