Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Merrimack, NH.

Substance abuse treatment centers which serve the specific 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 rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehab centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to rehab.

Treatment staff at drug and alcohol treatment facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, 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 produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group 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 intervention not just through detoxification but to figure out which medical drugs should be eliminated or continued as part of their recovery plan and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
