Senior and older adult focused recovery can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the specific challenges they face. In younger age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues.
