Drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation programs which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the challenges to recovery.
