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

Drug and alcohol treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehabilitation programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the difficulties in rehab.

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

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