It's good to be curious about their strengths, their successes, all that kind of stuff. And you don't necessarily need them to have that aha moment and insight that connects it all. I think for me, it's more about how do you give them enough information so they know that they can come back if they need to.
Imagine facing addiction later in life, with the added complications of other health issues. In this episode of 'Captain Hooked: The Addiction Project', Dr. Wiplove Lamba and Jean-Paul Michael dive into the case of Eloise Simpson, a fictional elderly patient grappling with substance use and multiple health conditions. Eloise's story is a gateway to discussing the unique hurdles older adults face when dealing with addiction.
From managing hypertension and diabetes to addressing depression, the episode paints a comprehensive picture of the complexities involved. Dr. Wip and JP bring their wealth of experience to the table, highlighting the importance of personalized care and the need for a supportive environment. They also stress the significance of recognizing the strengths that elderly patients bring to their recovery journey.
If you're interested in understanding how addiction treatment can be tailored for older individuals, or if you have a loved one in a similar situation, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. It's a must-listen for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of addiction in the elderly.
