Older Adult Program

Treatment Program Details

Throughout treatment, our addiction, medical, and mental health specialists reassess and adjust care plans, helping patients to rediscover joy and purpose. Treatment focuses on building social support networks and self-awareness and helping patients deal with difficult emotions, such as grief and anxiety.

The daily schedule is crafted to adhere to each patient’s pace with the inclusion of activities that take into account mobility and possible co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. Significant medical issues—like chronic pain, diabetes, or cardiac problems—are also taken into account in the patient’s individualized treatment plan.
