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

Substance abuse rehab centers which serve the 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 when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical health issues or challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish 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 sustain a long and happy life.
