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

Drug and alcohol treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve 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 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 experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
