Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Pittsfield, PA.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater 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 these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
