Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Grand Lake Stream, ME.

Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help 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 encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared 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 specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum 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 such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
