Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Milford, ME.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction rehab facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate the 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 treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
