Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Falmouth, ME.

Drug and alcohol rehab programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
