In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges. Addiction rehab programs that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in treatment.
