Oakdale, CT. - Seniors/Older Adults
Seniors and older adults can be prone to, if not predisposed, to alcohol and drug abuse much in the same way as any other person of any other age. Truthfully, seniors and older adult persons 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 significant health effects including death. The social stigmas linked to drug or alcohol addiction may keep some seniors and older adults out of the alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs in Oakdale they desperately need. For this reason, there are drug and alcohol rehab centers which cater to this age range of person. These drug treatment facilities in Oakdale know that there are certain circumstances which are peculiar to the aging addict, and how to deal with drug or alcohol addiction among these clients. Due to the fact seniors and older adults are already prone to sickness and accidents, it is crucial that they seek out treatment earlier than any disease or accident is brought on by their addiction which can lead to long term if not fatal damage.
