In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less willing to participate completely in group sessions with the younger age group who don't understand their age related and generational unique challenges. Addiction rehab centers which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual respect, understanding, and solace to work through the difficulties in treatment.
