Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - New Albany, PA.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related 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 treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
