Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Monmouth, ME.

Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehabilitation centers which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehab programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
