Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Orbisonia, PA.

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery 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 face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
