Substance abuse treatment facilities which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group 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 offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the challenges to treatment.
Rehabilitation professionals at addiction rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this demographic of client faces while in treatment.
