Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Kittery, ME.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. 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 support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the 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 safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
