Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Kenduskeag, ME.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 unique physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. 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 professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
