Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Pocono Summit, PA.

Addiction rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab centers which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment 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 considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention 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 healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
