In mixed age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate fully in group sessions with younger clients who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Drug and Alcohol rehab facilities that provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can deliver a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to handle the difficulties in recovery.
