Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Jonesport, ME.

Drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver 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 health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. 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 apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
