Course Description:

More than half of older adults who drink alcohol in excess of the recommended limits and/or misuse psychoactive medications have a co-occurring mental disorder, such as depression, anxiety, or dementia. The combination of these problems places older adults at increased risk for poor treatment outcomes, increased health problems, disability, and suicide. This workshop will address issues of screening, assessment, differential diagnosis, brief interventions, treatment, and outcomes for older adults with co-occurring disorders.
