Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Georgetown, CT.

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities 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 specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance 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 clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
