Seniors and older adult persons in Holland are susceptible, if not predisposed, to drug or alcohol addiction much in the same way as any other age group. In fact, seniors and older adults are already using prescription medications which are also commonly abused. When mixed with illicit drugs and alcohol, seniors and older adults are at a higher risk of serious health consequences including death. The social stereotypes associated with drug or alcohol addiction may keep many seniors and older adult persons away from the drug rehabilitation facilities in Holland that will help resolve their problem. Because of this, there are drug and alcohol rehab programs which cater to this age group of the population. These drug rehab centers understand the needs which are particular to the aging addict, and how to treat drug addiction among this particular type of treatment client. Simply because seniors and older adults are more prone to disease and accidents, it is important that they seek rehab before any disease or accident is brought on by their addiction which can result in long term if not fatal injury.
