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

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
