Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Smyrna Mills, ME.

Substance abuse treatment centers which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial 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 support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in rehab.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic 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 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 treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
