Old and High exposes this hidden epidemic and emphasizes the importance of understanding psychotropic substance abuse as a community health problem. Further, the book identifies the unique cultural values, social values, and risks that baby-boom adults have with respect to substance abuse and misuse to give students and clinical professionals in psychology, social work, gerontology, nursing, and medicine a foundation for working with this population. Readers will learn how to integrate current neuroscience findings with contemporary psychotherapy techniques and harm-reduction interventions to help older adults achieve successful recovery from substance abuse problems. Considering that we will likely observe an increase in rates of substance abuse as the baby-boom generation continues to age-and live longer than previous groups-there will be a major need to better understand the unique risk factors and treatment approaches for working with older adults.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51666640044320,"sku":"NEW0190672897","price":87.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/519IiTaoecL.jpg?v=1778943212","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/old-and-high-a-guide-to-understanding-the-neuroscience-and-psychotherapeutic-treatment-of-baby-boom-adults-substance-use-abuse-and-misuse-0190672897","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
