Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Needham, MA.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs 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 unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the 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 establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
