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

Addiction rehabilitation facilities 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 these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
