Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - West Chop, MA.

Addiction treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
