Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Woods Hole, MA.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
