Substance abuse rehab facilities 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 centered recovery services can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their generational and age related specific challenges.
