Seniors or Older Adults - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Alstead, NH.

Addiction rehabilitation facilities which serve the unique 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 seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can at times be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Substance abuse treatment programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the challenges to treatment.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there 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 specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment counselors who are prepared to accommodate 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 alcohol and prescription drugs, and as part of treatment many require medical intervention not just through detoxification but to determine which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
