Until I got into this business, I had no idea how many scrip addicts are elderly.
It makes perfect sense given that they have more health issues, pains, and more doctor appointments (in general), I just hadn't heard or thought about it before becoming personally exposed to it.
I have a few clients who have adult children or grandchildren who visit frequently and after those visits there always seem to be "misplaced" prescriptions that need to be refilled, too.
Scrip addiction is non-age discriminatory, that's for sure.
