Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Readfield, ME.

Addiction treatment facilities which cater 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 centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to recovery.

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

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