Getting sober is anything but easy, and that’s why it’s crucial to get the right support and treatment. Drug rehab centers are not one-size-fits-all, though, and some patients are better suited to one demographic versus another. For instance, you may opt for age-specific drug addiction treatment if you’re looking for a facility that caters to your age group. Age-specific rehab better addresses the underlying issues surrounding a patient’s addiction.

The data from a 2015 national survey found that more than 2.3 million adults aged 40 and older needed substance abuse treatment, and that number is expected to be as high as 5.7 million in 2020, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Alcohol is by far the most abused drug among adults, outpacing painkillers and heroin. The most commonly abused prescription drugs are hypnotics and sedatives, such as Ambien or Xanax, respectively.

You may be surprised to know how adults are just as likely to develop a drug addiction as younger adults. Their reasons for starting to abuse drugs and/or alcohol are usually different, though.
