Drug and alcohol rehab centers which provide services to the specific needs of seniors and older adults may be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it offers the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to engage completely in group activities with younger clients who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues.
