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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials 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 prepared to accommodate 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
