Seniors or Older Adults - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Sullivan, NH.

Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help 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 understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Substance abuse treatment centers that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older 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 treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with 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 prescription drugs and alcohol, and as part of treatment many need medical assistance not just through detoxification but to establish which prescriptions should be continued or eliminated as part of the treatment process and their transition to a healthy lifestyle that will prolong their life.
