Seniors and older adult persons in Bloomingburg are prone, and some are even predisposed, to drug or alcohol addiction much in the same way as any other individual. In fact, seniors and older adult persons are already using prescription drugs which are also commonly abused. When mixed with illicit drugs and alcohol, seniors and older adults are at a higher risk of significant health effects including death. The social stereotypes associated with drug addiction may keep some seniors and older adults away from the alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Bloomingburg they desperately need. Because of this, there are drug rehabilitation facilities which specifically help this age range of the population. These drug and alcohol treatment programs are aware of the issues which are particular to this group of clients, and how to treat drug addiction among these clients. Because seniors and older adults are more prone to illness and accidents, it is imperative that they seek rehabilitation before any illness or accident occurs because of their drug addiction which may result in long term if not fatal damage.
