Older Adults & Substance Abuse Issues [resource booklet]

Today I came across a report from the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) -- "Responding to Older Adults with Substance Use, Mental Health and Gambling Challenges: A Guide for Workers and Volunteers" (2006).

"This concise, easy-to-read booklet describes problems with alcohol, anxiety, dementia, depression, gambling and medications in older people, and identifies the signs of each problem.
Tips on talking with older adults with these problems are included, as are pointers on when to seek help."
