Seniors and older adults in Pasadena are susceptible, and some are even predisposed, to addiction much in the same way as any other man or woman. Factually, seniors and older adults are already using prescription medications which are also commonly abused. When combined with illicit drugs and alcohol, seniors and older adults are a significantly higher risk of significant health effects and even death. The social stigmas associated with drug addiction may keep many seniors and older adults away from the drug rehab facilities in Pasadena they desperately need. For this reason, there are drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities which cater to this age group of addict. These drug rehabilitation programs are aware of the issues which are particular to this age group, and how to treat drug or alcohol addiction among these clients. Because seniors and older adults are already prone to disease and accidents, it is important that they seek rehab before any disease or accident is brought on by their alcohol and drug abuse which may result in long term if not fatal injury.
