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

Substance abuse treatment programs which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs 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 taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type 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 apt to the abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
