Seniors and older adults can be prone to, if not predisposed, to drug or alcohol addiction much in the same way as any other person. In fact, seniors and older adult persons often already take 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 severe health consequences including death. The negative stereotypes linked to drug addiction may keep many seniors and older adult persons away from the alcohol and drug treatment facilities in Jewell they desperately need. For this reason, there are drug treatment centers which cater to this age group of the population. These drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in Jewell understand the needs which are peculiar to this age range, and how to treat alcohol and drug abuse among these clients. Due to the fact seniors and older adults are already prone to sickness and accidents, it is imperative that they seek rehabilitation before any sickness or accident is brought on by their drug addiction which may lead to permanent if not fatal damage.
