Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - East Winthrop, ME.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment 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 taking into account any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the 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 intervention not just through safe detox 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.
