Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - East Boothbay, ME.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there 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 impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such 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 determine 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.
