Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Belmont, VT.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
