Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Southport, ME.

Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at substance abuse rehabilitation facilities 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 specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this demographic 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 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox but to determine which prescriptions should be eliminated or continued as part of the treatment process and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
