Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Spruce Head, ME.

Addiction rehab facilities which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on 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 treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio 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 group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out 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.
