In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues. Addiction rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in rehab.
