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

Drug and alcohol treatment centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset 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 experienced with 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 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 sustain a long and happy life.
