Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Bartlett, NH.

Substance abuse rehab centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Substance abuse rehab programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve 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 recovery. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of recovery many require medical assistance not just through detoxification but to figure out which prescriptions 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.
