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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer 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 treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
