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 centered recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to contribute fully in group activities with younger clients who don't understand their generational and age related specific issues. Substance abuse rehab programs that offer a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to address the challenges to treatment.

Rehabilitation professionals at drug and alcohol treatment centers for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to work on generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type in reading material or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the way group and individual counseling sessions.
