Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - St. Michael, PA.

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older 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 group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
