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.

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.

- Continued use in spite of negative impacts on one's life

- Using more of the drug or alcohol, more often
- Intense cravings

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.

Understanding Fentanyl and Alcohol Use

Using fentanyl and alcohol together is often associated with polysubstance use, a category of substance abuse where individuals rely on multiple substances to achieve the desired effect.

Polysubstance use can complicate the treatment of alcohol use disorder, as well as opioid addiction, and requires comprehensive care. Integrated treatment programs that address both the psychological and physiological aspects of addiction are important for people with polysubstance abuse.

People with multiple addictions may need additional help when it comes to cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

People who use these substances together are at high risk of overdose.

🍂🌰Happy Turkey Day!! 🦃 🍗 🥧☕

Many people struggle with withdrawal symptoms even after their initial 90 days, which is the typical period of time to expect withdrawal symptoms. As a person's substance use moves further into the past, they may not initially notice that they still have some issues. However, many people struggle with PAWS in their first few years of recovery, especially if their drug of choice is an opioid. Without understanding the cause of their symptoms, it can be very frustrating and even detrimental.

Post-acute withdrawal syndrome (PAWS) is a term used to describe persistent withdrawal symptoms that occur after the acute withdrawal period has ended.

In preparation for Veterans Day on Saturday we wanted to remind you that many Veterans are struggling with depression or PTSD in addition to substance use problems.

Setting Limits to Keep Social Media Time Healthy

Social media use can be problematic when fueled by the constant stream of notifications, the need for validation through likes and comments, and the fear of missing out on what's happening online. It can be particularly challenging for individuals in recovery from drug addiction to use social media safely and successfully, as it may replace one addiction with another.
