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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine 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 sustain a long and happy life.
