Seniors Or Older Adults in Utah

Addiction may start innocently enough, as elderly individuals in Utah are likely not abusing drugs to get high, but rather may be using them to reduce physical pain or emotional difficulties. Senior citizens may struggle with the aging process and may use drugs or alcohol to cope with mental or physical distress related to illness, chronic pain, the death of a spouse or loved one, families moving away, a decrease in ability to engage in some activities, big life changes such as the loss of a job or change in living arrangements, increasing psychiatric issues, or social isolation.

Pronounced Effects of Drugs in Older Adults

Lower amounts of alcohol or drugs may have bigger effects, and tolerance levels may be lower. Older adults are also highly likely to have a comorbid medical or mental health concern, as the Psychiatric Times publishes that psychiatric illness and substance abuse likely co-occur in the elderly population at rates between 21 and 66 percent. Depression and anxiety disorders may be common in seniors who also abuse alcohol or drugs. Substance abuse may be a form of self-medication to temporarily reduce symptoms of mental illness, although in reality substance abuse will only serve to complicate treatment and make side effects of both disorders worse in the long run.

Intervention as an Effective Tool

Recognizing when substance abuse is concerning is often the first step in getting necessary treatment for a drug or alcohol problem. In many cases, the individual may not recognize the need for treatment, and an intervention may be necessary. An intervention is a carefully planned meeting of loved ones and family members affected by a person's substance abuse. Often, the help of a trained professional is beneficial in the planning process as well as in the actual intervention.

The goal of an intervention is to help someone see the need for, and willingly enter, a treatment program. With older individuals, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA) states that only one or two loved ones, particularly a spouse, child, close medical professional, or housemate, be involved in an intervention to avoid potential confusion and to reduce the chances of overwhelming the person emotionally. Motivational counseling and education on substance abuse and addiction may help someone gain the internal motivation to seek treatment and may be as effective for some people as a structured intervention.

Age-Specific and Mixed-Age Addiction Treatment Programs

As the need for elderly addiction and mental health treatment increases, more and more facilities are providing care options that cater to this specific demographic. There are usually two main types of treatment programs: those that are general programs and contain all ages, and those that are age- or peer-specific and tailored to certain populations. Just as teenagers may have special needs and mitigating circumstances, so might the elderly population. Sometimes gender-specific programs may be beneficial also.

Generally speaking, it may suit someone better to be in a treatment program with peers and other individuals in similar life circumstances. Since older adults may abuse substances for different reasons than younger ones, it may be beneficial to separate treatment programs for different peer groups.

Treatment options may vary depending on the level of care required and include:
