Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Sullivan, ME.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 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 safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
