Substance abuse treatment programs which provide services to the unique needs of seniors and older adults may be more helpful for this client demographic. Senior and older adult centered recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique issues.
