Seniors/Older Adults - Fairfax
Seniors and older adult persons in Fairfax, IA. are susceptible, and some are even predisposed, to drug addiction much in the same way as any other man or woman. In fact, seniors and older adults are already using prescription medications which are also commonly abused. When mixed with street drugs and alcohol, seniors and older adults are at a higher risk of significant health effects including death. The social stigmas which are connected to addiction may keep certain seniors and older adult persons out of the drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers in Fairfax, IA. they desperately need. Due to this, there are alcohol and drug treatment facilities which specifically help this age group of the population. These alcohol and drug rehab programs understand the needs which are peculiar to this age group, and how to deal with drug or alcohol addiction among this particular type of treatment client. Simply because seniors and older adult persons are already prone to illness and accidents, it is important that they seek treatment before any illness or accident is brought on by their alcohol and drug abuse which can result in long term if not fatal injury.
