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

Addiction rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties 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 don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio 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 require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
