In younger age facilities seniors and older adults can sometimes be less likely to engage completely in group activities with the younger age group who are not familiar with their age related and generational unique challenges. Substance abuse rehabilitation facilities which provide a more age appropriate forum for seniors and older adults can offer a connection of mutual understanding, respect, and comfort to handle the difficulties in rehab.
