Substance abuse rehab programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute completely in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to handle the difficulties in recovery.
