Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Rupert, VT.

Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the specific 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 these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions 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.
