Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Colchester, VT.

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse treatment 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group 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 in reading material or treatment counselors 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish 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 prolong their life.
