Drug and alcohol treatment programs which cater to the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.
