SUMMARY:Alcohol\, Cannabis\, and Other Substance Misuse Among Older Adults: New Findings to Inform Prevention and Interventions
DESCRIPTION:Alcohol\, Cannabis\, and Other Substance Misuse Among Older Adults: New Findings to Inform Prevention and Interventions \nSpeakers: Fred Blow\, PhD and Lynn Cooper \nDate: Nov 15th \nTime: 10-11:30AM PT / 11AM-12:30PM MT / 12-1:30PM CT / 1-2:30PM ET \nIn recent years\, the misuse of alcohol and other psychoactive drugs\, including opioids\, among older adults has been increasing. There is growing evidence that older adults today drink alcohol\, and abuse prescription and illicit drugs\, at higher levels than previously reported. New data suggest that combination of these problems places older adults at increased risk for negative outcomes\, increased health problems\, disability\, and suicide. This presentation will focus on the nature and extent of substance use and abuse in later life\, new research on the changing landscape of substance use and its consequences in aging individuals\, best-practices for screening and identification of late-life substance abuse\, and brief motivational intervention strategies targeting older adults who misuse substances. The webinar will also highlight key recommendations included in the SAMHSA Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) #26: Treatment of Substance Use Disorder in Older Adults. This event is hosted in collaboration with the Illinois Department on Aging (IDoA). \nLearning Objectives \nLearners who participate in this learning activity will be able to: \n\nunderstand the nature and extent of substance misuse among older adults;\ndescribe the unique risks of risky substance use and misuse among older individuals\, especially for those with comorbid mental health and cognitive problems;\nbe able to screen for alcohol and drug use among older adults using standardized instruments; and\nhave new knowledge about effective brief motivational interventions to address both alcohol and drug concerns in their clinical practice.\n\nPlease register HERE.
