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

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt 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 medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
