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

Substance abuse rehabilitation centers which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering 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 produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals 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 assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions 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.
