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

Drug and alcohol treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum 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 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
