Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Orrs Island, ME.

Addiction rehab programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced 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 individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
