Substance abuse rehab facilities which serve the specific needs of seniors and older adults can be more helpful for this particular group of people. Senior and older adult focused recovery services can be helpful with the initial stigma that seniors may feel they may experience when entering treatment and it provides support from others in the same stage of life who understand the specific challenges they encounter. In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to participate completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their generational and age related unique issues.
