Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - East Dennis, MA.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

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