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 focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.
