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

Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide services 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 help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab centers 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox 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.
