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

Substance abuse rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group 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 in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions 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.
