Benzodiazepines and Opioids are Deadly When Mixed

Benzodiazepines and opioids are often used together, especially with the number of people who are prescribed anxiety pills annually. Over 30 million people take benzos annually, and 5.3% of those people say they misuse them.

Misusing benzos alone is dangerous, but when taken alongside opioids, there is a high risk of overdose. Some drugs are much more potent on the street, making it difficult to know if there is overdose potential. Many people who take benzodiazepines and opioids know nothing of the hazards or dangers.

Why is M**h Use Rising?

M**hamphetamine has become more affordable and accessible. Many people buy their drugs online and skip the danger of meeting in person, making it easy to get if you’ve downloaded a few apps.

The rise in methamphetamine use over the past few years can be attributed to increased availability, social influences, media portrayal, and inadequate prevention and treatment measures.

💖 Opioid Use Disorder and Chronic Pain In Older Adults 🌻

The intersection of opioid use disorder (OUD) and chronic pain may seem like a complex challenge, particularly in the context of older adults. However, many aging people in recovery can get pain relief when they need it by working with their doctors.

Aging often brings with it an increased susceptibility to chronic pain, leading to a higher prevalence of opioid prescriptions for pain management. Often, this medication helps but is not a solution for chronic issues; the risk of opioid dependence and addiction rises with age. This means that seniors with chronic pain deserve a thoughtful and multifaceted approach to address both chronic pain and substance use disorders.

It's essential to create safe and supportive sober living environments where our seniors can thrive and enjoy life to the fullest throughout their aging cycle.

Providing specialized care and understanding for seniors facing alcohol-related challenges can make a world of difference in their well-being and happiness.

Alcohol Abuse On The Rise Among Seniors🧓👵

Research suggests that approximately 11% to 20% of adults over 65 years old misuse alcohol. This statistic might seem startling, but it highlights the importance of understanding and addressing this issue.

Seniors may drink to excess for various reasons. Some might do it as a way to cope with loneliness, grief, or chronic pain. Others might drink more due to retirement, changes in social circles, or boredom. Some of them may have been drinking excessively their whole lives and not know how to stop.

Regardless of the reasons, it's crucial to recognize that alcohol abuse can have tragic consequences for seniors' health and well-being. Present Moments Recovery and Present Moments Senior Living have created monitored residences to support seniors who are in recovery.
