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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

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