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

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic 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 prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
