Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Unionville, CT.

Addiction rehab centers which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 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 continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
