Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Alna, ME.

Addiction rehab centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with 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 establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
