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

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older 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 subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum 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 way 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
