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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

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