Any number of compounding factors can lead to drug addiction and abuse in seniors. Sometimes traumatic events and highly emotional changes in someone’s life can cause them to seek comfort through a variety of substances. The higher use of prescription drugs in the senior population also inclines itself to create instances of medication abuse and misuse. If you suspect a loved one is struggling with addiction, contact a drug abuse or alcoholism hotline to plan steps toward recovery.
