Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Birch Harbor, ME.

Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve 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 entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
