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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic 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 therapists 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 need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
