Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused treatment can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage fully in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related specific challenges. Substance abuse treatment programs which offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to handle the difficulties in recovery.

Program materials for seniors and older adults may be produced with audio or verbal 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 individual and group counseling sessions.
