| Annotation | Although the number of older people with substance misuse problems in increasing, they remain a marginalised group whose needs are not always well met. This briefing sets out strategic, policy and good practice recommendations for substance misuse and older people's services. It covers routes into substance misuse for older people; and the associated risks, problems and barriers to support encountered. Case studies highlight positive interventions and recovery. Recommendations are made for policy and decision makers, substance misuse services, and older people' services. (RH). |
