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

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
