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

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Addiction rehab programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older 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 rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
