Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Amston, CT.

Substance abuse treatment centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with such 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
