Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Jefferson, MA.

Addiction rehab programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine 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 sustain a long and happy life.
