Rise in Older Americans Seeking Substance Abuse Treatment
“Between 1992 and 2008 the proportion of substance abuse treatment admissions involving older Americans (aged 50 and older) nearly doubled — from 6.6 percent of all admissions in 1992 to 12.2 percent in 2008,” according to a recent SAMHSA study. While three-fourths of the individuals had used prior to 25 years of age, one-fourth of individuals began use within the last five years prior to admission. Family members caring for aging parents often overlook the typical signs and symptoms of drug and alcohol abuse, not suspecting that it would begin in older age or that it would recur after long periods of abstinence.
