Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Norfolk, MA.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab.
