In age neutral facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and support to address the challenges to recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with older clients to resolve age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this demographic of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment therapists who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
