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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab 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 considering any unique mental or physical impairments and 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 or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
