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

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which cater to 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 rehab and it offers 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 at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehab centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
