"We Have Been Given a Second Chance"
Older Adult Programs
Older Adult Sober Living for Baby Boomers
Second Chance offers a holistic approach for baby boomers
ages 50 and up. This program addresses the spiritual, mental,
and physical aspects of substance abuse pertaining to later
life issues.
The older adult has different generational issues that are addressed through:
1) Two weekly gender specific peer groups
2) Individual sessions with a credentialed counselor
Topics addressing the older adult specifically include:
- Grief and loss issues
- Loss of career, identity, and purpose
- Loneliness and isolation
- Declining health
- Relapse prevention
We believe our chances of achieving permanent sobriety are increased by maintaining connections with Aftercare programs and building a solid foundation in the 12 steps of AA. This includes:
- Daily meeting attendance
- Working one on one with a 12 step sponsor
- Aftercare group attendance
We have learned the older adult prospers with a daily productive schedule that includes volunteer work of part time employment, and participation in a health and fitness regime to enhance mental and emotional well-being. The Benson Senior Center is in close proximity to our community.
The Benson Center offers:
- Physical fitness program
- Nutritional guidance
- Life enrichment classes
- On site medical services
- Pool and gymnasium
- Nutritous breakfast and lunch at a reduced rate
The Benson Center offers free Uber transportation to and from their facility
