Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Altoona, PA.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
