ABSTRACT
Although substance misuse (primarily alcohol and prescribed benzodiazepines and opioids) among Americans aged ≥60 years is becoming an escalating health concern, substance use disorder (SUD) is often underestimated and/or undiagnosed, preventing older adults from receiving needed treatment. Chronic medical conditions, mental health issues, and psychosocial stressors increase older adults’ risks for developing SUD. Racial/ethnic minority groups (e.g., American Indian, Alaska Native) experiencing health care inequities and limited resources are more vulnerable to developing SUD. It is recommended that SUD screening be included in annual check-ups using tools adapted to older adults. Clinicians should consider older adults’ comorbidities to differentiate symptoms of substance use from neurocognitive disorders, depression, anxiety, and metabolic disorders. To ensure successful outcomes, interventions must be tailored to the specific needs of older adults. Building on the current federal government administration’s support, SUD practice guidelines should be updated with older adults in mind. [Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services, 61(7), 15-19.].
