This volume presents the latest thinking and research findings on alcohol and drug misuse in later life. Anne Gurnack has assembled an internationally known multidisciplinary team of experts to review this underserved population. Part I reviews the epidemiology and assessment of problem drinking. It includes a useful review of medical manifestations of alcoholism, techniques on how to detect early versus late onset of alcoholism, and treatment alternatives for alcohol abusers. Part II focuses on prescriptive and illicit drug abuse. The topics include misuse of prescription drugs, interactions between alcohol and drugs, and drug misuse in nursing homes.
