Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Schuylkill Haven, PA.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to 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 sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 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 prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
