Burlington, Vermont - Seniors/Older Adults
Seniors and older adult persons are prone to, and perhaps even predisposed, to alcohol and drug abuse much in the same way as any other individual. In fact, seniors and older adults are already typically on prescription medications which can also be abused. When mixed with illicit drugs and alcohol, seniors and older adult persons are at a higher risk of serious health effects including death. The negative stigmas linked to alcohol and drug abuse may keep certain seniors and older adult persons out of the drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Burlington that will be able to help them. For this reason, there are alcohol and drug treatment centers that specifically help this age group of the population. These drug and alcohol treatment facilities in Burlington understand the situations which are particular to this age range, and how to treat addiction among these clients. Simply because seniors and older adult persons are significantly prone to disease and accidents, it is crucial that they seek out rehab earlier than any sickness or accident is brought on by their addiction which may result in long term if not fatal injury.
