Elder Substance Abuse - WPFO FOX 23 | Maine, Local, News, Entertainment, ME
Member Center:
Substance abuse in seniors is a real issue and a complicated one. Studies show that between 10 and 20% of people over the age of 65 are addicted to drugs and alcohol. In many ways the addictions of older people mirror the behavior of addictions in younger people. But there are some important differences. Geriatric care manager Paula Banks is with us today to discuss those differences and what to do if your elder loved one has an addiction problem.
