TIP 26: Concise Desk Reference - Substance Abuse Among Older Adults: A Physician's Guide

2000 CSAT 58 Pages 90 to a Box This publication presents physicians with much needed information about a population whose use of alcohol and prescription drugs is under-diagnosed. Physicians may confuse symptoms of substance use disorders with age-related changes and disorders such as dementia and delirium. This CDRG discusses the relationship between aging and substance abuse and guides primary care physicians throughout the process of identifying, screening, and assessing substance abuse. Chapter 5 offers practical guidance on interventions and treatment approaches for older adults.
