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

Addiction rehabilitation centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to address the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately prone to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many require medical assistance not just through safe detox but to establish which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a clean and sober lifestyle that will prolong their life.
