Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Union Dale, PA.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. 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 professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
