Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Old Orchard Beach, ME.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may 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 provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention 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.
