About the Workshop

Content Level: Beginner

Problematic drug use (of which opioids make up the largest proportion) had been incorrectly assumed to end as patients age. This presentation will focus on the similarities and differences between treating an older adult population as compared to younger and middle-aged adults and will discuss the impact that chronic pain has on substance use.

 

Learning Objectives:

  • To increase understanding of substance use disorder in older adults and how it impacts overall healthcare for an older population.
  • Consider the unique issues and psychosocial factors impacting the older adult substance user
  • Increase awareness of chronic pain in older adults and provide education on more effective ways of working with older adults who experience chronic pain and are using substances (rx or not) to manage their pain.
