SUMMARY:Care Considerations for Addressing Substance Use and the Opioid Epidemic Among Older Adult Populations
DESCRIPTION:Substance Use disorders in Older Adults is a growing problem not only in the United States\, but throughout the developed world. This may be particularly relevant among people from the Baby Boomer generation\, born between 1946 and 1964. The use of an artificial cut off age of 65 years of age as the definition of elderly or old is somewhat arbitrary and this will be discussed. \nThe presentation will look at the prevalence of substance use among older people with an added focus on opioid epidemiology. It will also provide an overview for screening and identifying substance use within this population group. Additionally\, a broad biopsychosocial framework and sociohistorical lens will be utilized to analyze risk factors and vulnerabilities for substance use among older people. The presentation will conclude with care considerations that integrate psychosocial aspects of well-being and reinforce the importance of psychotherapeutic interventions. \nLearning Objectives \n\nReview the opioid epidemiology and prevalence of substance use disorders within older adult populations.\nDescribe the signs and symptoms of substance use and misuse in older people\nRecognize broader sociohistorical perspectives and apply a biopsychosocial lens for understanding risk factors for and vulnerabilities with substance use among older people.\nAssess the relevance and importance of psychotherapeutic intervention in older people\, especially integrated health solutions\, evidence-based health promotion programs\, and alternatives for pain management.\n\nPresentation Format: This session will take place in a Zoom meeting format. Participants will have access to camera and audio\, though neither is required.
