Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Chester, CT.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger 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 generational and age related unique challenges.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset 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 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 recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
