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

Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients 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 encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. 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 prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through safe detox but to determine which medical drugs 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.
