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

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab 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 likely to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
