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

Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the specific 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 seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
