Description

Alixe McNeill & Mary Brugger Murphy (a.); Jennifer Fieldholtz (ed.). By 2030, people over the age of 65 are expected to account for 20% of the U.S. population. Two frequently overlooked health problems among older adults are the often inadvertent misuse & abuse of alcohol & medications, including both over-the-counter & prescription medications. Mental health problems, such as depression & anxiety disorders, also are frequently overlooked among adults over the age of 65 but can have a significant impact on their health. This publication is designed to help older adults gain access to needed substance abuse & mental health services by promoting new linkages between well-known, trusted, & heavily utilized providers of aging services & relevant substance abuse & mental health services.
