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

Addiction rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, 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 presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
