Seniors/Older Adults - Merrill

You may be stunned to read that today more and more seniors/older adults are entering drug rehabilitation programs in Merrill, WI. Addiction is an issue that can have an impact on anyone. Even the elderly who have far more life experience can drop into the trap of drug abuse and addiction. Often their doctor prescribes a medication to aid with the pain, anxiety, etc. They uncover that the medication is beneficial and may take much more than prescribed or in conjunction with other substances like alcohol. Drug treatment centers are a valuable tool in helping seniors/older adults addicted to prescription drugs and other substances. Many elderly addicts are also suffering from co-occurring mental health problems that are able to be treated in conjunction with their addiction problems.
