Senior and older adult centered recovery can help with the initial stigma that seniors may feel when going to treatment and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who empathize and understand the unique challenges they face. In younger 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 challenges. Addiction rehab facilities which provide a more age relating forum for seniors and older adults can offer a platform of mutual respect, understanding, and comfort to work through the difficulties in recovery.

Treatment staff at addiction rehabilitation facilities for seniors and older adults are there to offer their unique expertise with these clients to resolve generational, age-related and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also considering any specific physical or mental impairments and challenges this group of client faces while in treatment. Program curriculum for seniors and older adults may be delivered with verbal or audio impairments in mind, such as larger type or treatment professionals who are experienced with the needs of older clients by the means of group and individual counseling sessions.
