Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific difficulties they encounter. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to contribute completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific challenges.
