Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction treatment programs which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the challenges to treatment.
