Seniors Or Older Adults in Hawaii

Drug addiction among the elderly in Hawaii appears to be getting worse. The U.S. Census Bureau reports that, in 2012, there were 43.1 million adults over the age of 65, and this number is estimated to double by 2050, up to 83.7 million. Many of these senior citizens are members of the baby boomer generation - those born between 1946 and 1964 - who grew up in a culture of free love and drug experimentation. This generation may be taking illicit drug and alcohol abuse, as well as struggles with addiction, with them into their advancing age.

Older adults may not recognize the need for addiction treatment, which makes an addiction intervention vital. After a successful intervention, the person will be prepared to enter treatment, and there are a variety of facilities with programs made just for older adults. Those programs may offer medical detox, residential treatment, and/or outpatient treatment, as necessary.

Identifying Substance Abuse and Addiction in the Older Population

Alcohol and drugs present unique problems for the older adult population, however, negatively affecting both mental and physical health. As individuals age, physiological changes occur in the brain and body, making people more susceptible to, and less tolerant of, the effects of drugs or alcohol. Metabolism slows down, and medical complications may interfere with the way alcohol or drugs are broken down in the body. Substance abuse can increase the risk for falling and breaking bones, becoming addicted, having suicidal tendencies, exacerbate memory loss and possible delirium, and heighten the odds for a negative drug or co-occurring disorder interaction.

What are addiction treatment options for the elderly?

The Psychiatric Times estimates that around a quarter of all prescription drugs in the United States are sold to elderly people, and close to 11 percent of this population may abuse these medications. Psychoactive medications, including painkillers like opioid narcotics, and anti-anxiety or sedative medications, such as benzodiazepines, may be commonly prescribed to and abused by this population.

Treatment for addiction in the elderly population may need to be specialized, as adults over the age of 65 are likely to have unique circumstances and specific needs that are different than those experienced by younger generations.
