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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older 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 demographic of client faces while in treatment. 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 counselors who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the way individual and group counseling sessions.
