Substance use disorder (SUD) is a growing issue in adults aged 65 and older in the United States. Older adults are more likely to take prescription medications and experience chronic health problems associated with aging, including chronic pain. These factors, as well as stressors such as grief and loss of independence, may contribute to substance misuse and complicate SUD treatment in older adults. 

This factsheet reviews the special problems relating to the detection and treatment of older people with a history of substance misuse and those who are still using substances.

The fact sheet includes a selection of case studies, example questions to ask during assessments, and an overview of treatment options.

Our popular resource page showing healthy lifestyle guidelines for youth and young adults in the areas of physical activity, nutrition, sleep and stress control has just been updated.
