Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Thorndale, PA.

Addiction treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of 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 require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
