Drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide services to the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this client demographic.

In age neutral programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique challenges. Substance abuse treatment facilities that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can provide a platform of mutual understanding, respect, and support to address the difficulties in rehab.
