Senior rehabs are designed to meet the needs of older and elderly treatment clients. Drug use among old individuals along with the elderly is a major concern, especially as "baby boomers" reach their 50s and 60s. The era which these individuals come from saw rampant recreational drug use, and for some this persisted into their senior years. As people age, the negative results connected with substance abuse become intensified because seniors have a heightened sensitivity to these substances. Additionally there is the truth that many seniors are on some kind of medical drug for a health condition, then when these drugs are abused or combined with alcohol and other recreational drugs, it can be a risky and deadly concoction. So it is important to help provide a means for seniors and older adults to get help for any type of drug abuse issue before significant consequences result. Senior centers offer older adults the chance to live their golden years alcohol and drug free, to enable them to enjoy this critical time in their lives while not having to deal with the stresses caused by a life of drug and alcohol use.
