Substance abuse treatment programs which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related unique challenges. Addiction treatment facilities that provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to work through the difficulties in treatment.
