They discuss the growing issue of substance use and misuse among the elderly (adults over the age of 60), particularly of alcohol and prescription drugs, as one of the fastest-growing health problems in the United States. Addiction in the elderly population can be extremely serious. Listen as they discuss prescription drug abuse and the misuse of prescribed medicines where they may abuse their own medicine in a way that is not instructed by the doctor, or more than is necessary.
