Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Oakfield, ME.

Addiction rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in recovery. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
