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

Addiction rehab facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation programs that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle the difficulties in rehab.

Rehabilitation staff at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.

Seniors and older adults are disproportionately apt to the abuse of prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which medical drugs should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will sustain a long and happy life.
