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

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 need medical intervention not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
