Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Stoneham, MA.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery 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.
