Bringing Awareness to the Mental Health of Older Adults
Our population is aging. Approximately 75 million Americans will be over age 65 by 2030. Whether it is the 5.7 million adults aged 65 and older who binge drink in the past month, or the 1.5 million adults aged 65 and older who used an illicit drug in the past month according to SAMHSA’s 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the growing number of older adults with mental health, substance use disorders, or both, is likely to have a tremendous impact on the health and wellbeing of our nation.
