Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Princeton, ME.

Addiction treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors 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 prone to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
