Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Point Marion, PA.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related 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 rehab.
