Book excerpt: The authors, both experts in the field of addiction treatment and intervention, provide a respectful, definitive guide for recognizing and addressing substance abuse among older adults. Addiction among older adults is a hidden and hushed problem. Signs and symptoms of alcohol or medication abuse can easily be mistaken for conditions related to aging. And even when friends or family members recognize signs of addiction, they often discount the need for intervention or treatment. With an estimated three million older Americans struggling with alcohol and drug misuse and abuse, Aging and Addiction is a much-needed resource. The authors, both experts in the field of addiction treatment and intervention, provide a respectful, definitive guide for recognizing and addressing substance abuse among older adults. Key topics include: understanding the relationship between aging and addiction, finding help for a loved one, and recognizing the treatment needs of older adults.Key features and benefitsauthors are widely recognized experts in the field of addictionaddresses one of the nation's most underestimated, under treated health problemsprovides how-to-help information for family members and friends

Download or read book Substance Use and Older People written by Ilana Crome and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-12-31 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substance use and addiction is an increasing problem amongst older people. The identification of this problem is often more difficult in older patients and is frequently missed, particularly in the primary care context and in emergency departments, but also in a range of medical and psychiatric specialties. Substance Use and Older People shows how to recognise and treat substance problems in older patients. However, it goes well beyond assessment and diagnosis by incorporating up-to-date evidence on the management of those older people who are presenting with chronic complex disorders, which result from the problematic use of alcohol, inappropriate prescribed or over the counter medications, tobacco, or other drugs. It also examines a variety of biological and psychosocial approaches to the understanding of these issues in the older population and offers recommendations for policy. Substance Use and Older People is a valuable resource for geriatricians, old age psychiatrists, addiction psychiatrists, primary care physicians, and gerontologists as well as policy makers, researchers, and educators. It is also relevant for residents and fellows training in geriatrics or geri-psychiatry, general practitioners and nursing home physicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: U.S. census figures forecast that the percentage of U.S. citizens over the age of 65 will double between 1980 and 2030. Estimates that between 3 and 10% of this group are prone to alcohol abuse points to the potential for an increasingly ominous health care problem.

Throughout, the book focuses on clinical, practical problems and stays away from jargon, making it accessible to a wide range of readers. Featuring contributions a diverse group of specialists, the book will be an invaluable aid to physicians, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and social workers who treat alcoholism in the aging population.

Download or read book ELDERLY ALCOHOLISM written by Michael Beechem and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2002-01-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is the first of its kind to substantively integrate alcoholism, aging, and grief theories into an easy-to-understand format for interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate students in the behavioral and physical sciences. Written to prepare students in working with an elderly clientele, the reader is provided with elder-specific practice methodology derived from experiential and theoretical content. Chapters 1 through 4 alert the readers to the nature of elderly alcoholism and accompanying aging theories. Chapter 5 underscores the challenges faced by professionals in identifying elderly alcoholism because the symptoms often mimic other diseases, namely, acute dementia. Chapter 6 is a comprehensive study of elder-specific populations, including people of color, lesbians, gays, and the homeless. Chapters 7 through 13 are essentially practice intervention chapters that include in-depth discussions of such issues as strategies to encourage elderly alcoholics to enter treatment, practice values and attitudes, intervention strategies, spirituality, relapse, and suicide prevention strategies. Also provided are on-site interviews with professional counselors at elder-specific alcoholism treatment programs, and summaries of these interviews appear in Chapter 13 as well as actual case studies. Each chapter includes study questions, the glossary of terms, and a comprehensive bibliography of research specific to the issues. This book will also be useful to professionals who provide services to an elderly population, including nurses, physicians, social workers, and alcoholism counselors.
