Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Bath, ME.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction treatment programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic 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 therapists who are prepared to accommodate such 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
