Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hinsdale, MA.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs 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 help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation 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 taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need 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 sustain a long and happy life.
