Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which serve the specific and unique needs of seniors and older adults can be more beneficial for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can help with the initial stigma that these clients feel when entering rehab and it provides the peer support from individuals in their stage of life who understand the unique difficulties they encounter. In mixed age programs seniors and older adults can at times be less willing to engage fully in group sessions with younger clients who don't understand their age related and generational unique issues.

Rehabilitation staff at substance abuse rehabilitation programs for seniors and older adults are there to deliver their unique expertise with these clients to work on age-related, generational, and broader substance abuse related issues alike, while also taking into account any unique mental or physical impairments and challenges this subset of client faces while in rehab.
