Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Waterville, VT.

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab 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 considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. 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 counselors who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
