Geriatrics. 2008 Sep;63(9):22-31 Authors: Culberson JW, Ziska M One quarter of the prescription drugs sold in the United States are used by the elderly, often for problems such as chronic pain, insomnia, and anxiety. The prevalence of Abuse may be as high as 11 percent with female gender, social isolation, depression, and history of substance Abuse increasing risk. Screening instruments for prescription Drug Abuse have not been validated in the geriatric population. Benzodiazepines, opiate analgesics, and some skeletal muscle relaxants may result in physical dependence; however, tolerance, withdrawal syndrome, and dose escalation may be less common in the older patient. Lower doses may decrease the risk of Abuse and dependence; however, fear of Abuse often results in a failure to adequately treat symptoms such as anxiety, pain, and insomnia.

clipped by: branzamica clipper's remarks: Addiction often leads to decline in work performance and struggle in personal relationships. There is a general apathy with addiction, or at least a re-prioritization of your goals, hopes and even relationships. This can cause you to lose interest in things you once enjoyed and likely will make your addiction your first priority. You may choose certain occupations and friendships based on their being compatible or complementary with your addiction to avoid conflict. Clip Source: cliffsidemalibu.com You use drugs or alcohol to feel normal. Getting buzzed, drunk or high was once fun, but as time goes on; it takes more and more to get to that feeling.

by Sam Herald Following the heroin overdose death of a recent Portage Central High School graduate in June, the question of just how to fight drugs in the community is still unanswered. School officials, public safety and parents are all working together now to find solutions, but just how deep does the problem run? Kalamazoo County Chief Medical Officer Dr. Richard Tooker says it's almost impossible to tell. "We don't have a system to do that at the present time, so that's why you hear a lot of different numbers and a lot of different opinions," Tooker tells 590 KZO. Tooker says he's working on arranging a system that will attempt to track the problem by collaborating with law enforcement, hospitals, and Drug treatment clinics.
