Older Adult Program

Treatment Program Details

Throughout the treatment process, our addiction, medical, and mental health specialists continually reassess and adjust care plans, helping patients build social support networks, gain self-awareness, overcome difficult emotions, such as grief and depression, and restore their sense of meaning and purpose.

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.
