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

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum 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 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
