Addiction treatment programs which cater to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult focused recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel they may experience when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they face. In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab programs which offer a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the challenges to recovery.

Rehabilitation staff at addiction rehab centers for seniors and older adults are prepared to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any specific mental or physical impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are prepared to accommodate the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
