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

Addiction treatment programs which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the 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 require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
