Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when going to rehab and it offers support from others in the same stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to contribute fully in group activities with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational specific issues.

Treatment professionals at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver 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 group of client faces while in treatment. Program materials for seniors and older adults may be delivered with audio or verbal impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment therapists who are experienced with such needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
