Substance Use in Older Adults
By 2050, 85.7 million people in the United States are projected to be 65 or older. Older adults are especially prone to the effects of substances, and a 2021 survey showed that 4 million older adults were dealing with a substance use disorder.

Early chapters discuss not only etiology and epidemiology but also comorbidities and management and subsequent sections address the problematic use of specific substances, including Alcohol Tobacco Opioids Sedatives Stimulants CannabinoidsReaders will find guidance on safe prescribing practices for older patients, as well as an examination of the cultural and ethical issues that may arise when working with this patient population.Rife with case examples that illustrate key points in clinical practice, Substance Use in Older Adults also features numerous tables that can be referenced time and again with information on comorbidities, screening frameworks, and interventions for specific substances; stigma-reducing language; the pharmacological implications of physiological changes in older adults; and more.Clinicians from psychiatric professionals to primary care providers will benefit from exhaustive listings of additional resources.
