Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Highgate Center, VT.

Addiction rehab programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
