Seniors and older adults in North Yarmouth are prone, and some are even predisposed, to addiction just like any other age group. In fact, seniors and older adults are already using prescription medications which can also be abused. When combined with street drugs and alcohol, seniors and older adult persons are at a higher risk of significant health effects and even death. The negative stigmas associated with drug or alcohol addiction may keep many seniors and older adults away from the drug treatment facilities in North Yarmouth that will help resolve their problem. For this reason, there are drug rehab facilities which specialize in this age group of the population. These drug and alcohol treatment centers understand the needs which are particular to this age group, and how to address addiction among this particular type of treatment client. Due to the fact seniors and older adults are more prone to disease and accidents, it is imperative that they look for rehab before any illness or accident is brought on by their drug addiction which may result in long term if not fatal damage.
