Substance abuse rehab centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered treatment can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they encounter.
