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

Addiction treatment centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction treatment centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with 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 need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs 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.
