Senior and older adult centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific issues.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation centers for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with older clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental health issues or challenges this group of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of individual and group counseling sessions.
