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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset 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 prepared to accommodate the 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
