Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - West Pittsburg, PA.

Addiction rehab centers which serve 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 help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
