Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Glendale, MA.

Substance abuse treatment centers which serve 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 seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab facilities 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 challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 counselors who are prepared to accommodate such 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 figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
