Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - North Stonington, CT.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities 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 recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs 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.
