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

Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group 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 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
