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

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered 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 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 safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
