Drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which serve the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific challenges.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehab facilities for seniors and older adults are prepared to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
