Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Pomfret Center, CT.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
