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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
