Substance abuse rehab centers which cater to the unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this client demographic.

In younger age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational specific issues.
