Substance abuse treatment centers which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Drug and Alcohol treatment centers that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab.
