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

Addiction treatment centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment 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 impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual 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 intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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 prolong their life.
