Substance abuse rehabilitation programs which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique issues. Addiction rehabilitation facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the challenges to rehab.
