Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Northern Cambria, PA.

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset 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 or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
