Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Niantic, CT.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment 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 sustain a long and happy life.
