Abstract

As the population ages, the prevalence of late-life substance use and abuse is on the rise. This article explores the reasons behind this increase, including the effects of aging on the body and mind, the impact of social and environmental factors, and the role of substance use as a coping mechanism. It also discusses the potential consequences of late-life substance abuse, such as physical and mental health issues, and the challenges in diagnosing and treating substance abuse in older adults.
