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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment 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 understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with such 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
