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

Substance abuse treatment facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may 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 treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists 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 recovery many need medical assistance not just through safe detox 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.
