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

Substance abuse treatment facilities which cater to the specific and unique 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 these clients feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals 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 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 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.
