Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - New Sharon, ME.

Addiction rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at substance abuse rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, 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 or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the 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 treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to figure out which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
