Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Dorchester, MA.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
