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

Drug and alcohol treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on 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 rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone 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 eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
