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

Addiction rehabilitation centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 safe detox but to determine 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.
