Recent attention has turned to opioid use disorder (OUD) and other substance use disorders (SUDs) as significant and growing health concerns among older adults. Biopsychosocial complications that develop with age, including medical comorbidities and cognitive impairments, contribute to some of the adverse interactions between substance misuse and the aging brain. This webinar will focus on how professionals can effectively work at the intersection of aging, mental health, and substance use, with a specific emphasis on opioid use disorder. Participants will learn practical strategies for assessing, diagnosing, treating, and supporting older clients with OUD or other SUDs, and will be empowered to offer compassionate, evidence-informed, and age-responsive care.

Without effective treatment, youth with OUD are at risk for developing lifelong addiction and experiencing associated harms, including overdose. This presentation will review the epidemiology of substance use and overdose among US youth, review evidence-based strategies to prevent OUD, and delineate screening, treatment, harm reduction, and recovery supports to promote the health and well-being of youth with OUD.
