Working With the Aging Population in AOD Treatment and Prevention
Alcohol and drug abuse among older adults is a problem of increasing concern to health service providers.

This course will examine what we know about the prevalence of alcohol and drug abuse among older adults, factors affecting changes in alcohol and drug use as people get older, and outcomes of older adults in chemical dependency treatment.
