Addiction rehabilitation facilities which provide services 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 be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and solace to work through the difficulties in rehab.
