Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Damariscotta, ME.

Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol treatment programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
