Senior and older adult centered treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the specific difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues. Drug and Alcohol rehab centers that offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and support to handle 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 work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be presented with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment counselors who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
