Seniors Or Older Adults in Oregon

Older adults age 50 and over in Oregon with substance use disorders need treatment services that are sensitive to age-related or generational issues.

The Most Misused Substances among the Elderly: Alcohol and Heroin

Alcohol remains the most common drug of misuse among those seeking help at multiple centers. However, recently the proportion of people admitted to these centers primarily for heroin use has increased from 11% (17 out of 155) in 2014 to 23.1% (six out of 26) so far in 2015, according to OASAS data. The trend mirrors what is happening through the numerous states, such as the state of New York where the number of admissions for people age 50 and older to outpatient treatment programs statewide for opioids as a primary substance of misuse has increased by 22% from 2,769 in 2010 to 3,370 in 2014, according to OASAS.

Longtime substance use may also have consequences for the individual's family and housing status. For example, a 67-year-old man with an alcohol use disorder may turn to a local homeless shelter after divorcing and losing his job. Others may move from the home of one family member to another in lieu of permanent housing. Multiple organizations work with local service providers to secure more stable housing for those people in their care.

Symptoms of Addiction in Senior Citizens

As people get older, their mental health, physical health and personal relationships may start to deteriorate. Although addiction may be more difficult to recognize in this demographic, it's important to pay attention to any unusual signs your elderly loved one displays.

Some signs of elderly drug abuse to look for include:

Once an addiction is identified, it is critical to seek out a treatment center that has specific experience working with seniors facing addiction.

You should look for programs that specialize in this type of addiction and also offer case management services, as individuals over 65 typically lack the social support required throughout recovery. These case management services will provide the elderly with access to medical, psychiatric and social resources to allow for a healthy lifestyle to continue after treatment.

As per The American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) consensus panel, the following are recommended as effective treatment approaches for older adults in substance abuse treatment:

Common Risk Factors Are Trauma and Age-Related Concerns

Understanding some of the underlying concerns of older people with substance use disorders is a key part of most centers' approach.

Professionals have noted many older people report feeling they have lost a feeling of meaning and purpose at this stage in their lives. Others may be nursing old wounds. Surveys of participants have found that many suffered childhood trauma. Support groups have been created specifically to deal with these concerns.

Getting Help

Older adults may truly feel alone in their situation and not reach out for help. There is hope and help for this vulnerable population. The first step is to identify the problem and begin the process of helping the elder reach out for support in Oregon.
