Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Thorndike, ME.

Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery 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 understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Treatment professionals at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 recovery many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to establish 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.
