Senior rehabs are mean to help meet the needs of older and elderly rehabilitation clients. Drug use among old individuals as well as the elderly is a major concern, particularly as "baby boomers" reach their senior years. The era which they come from experienced widespread recreational drug use, and for some this continued into their senior years. As people age, the negative results related to substance abuse become intensified because older adults have an increased sensitivity to alcohol and drugs. There's also the fact that many seniors take some kind of medical drug for a health condition, and when these drugs are misused or mixed with alcohol and other illegal drugs, it can be an unsafe and lethal concoction. So it is very important help provide a means for seniors and older persons to get help for any sort of substance abuse issue before significant consequences result. Senior centers offer seniors the ability to live out their golden years substance abuse free, so they can enjoy this critical time in their lives while not having to deal with the strains and stress caused by a life of substance abuse.
