Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Pitcairn, PA.

Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. 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 the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
