Özet

Despite the evidence that older adults are particularly vulnerable to the misuse and abuse of drugs, insufficient information is available about the screening, evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment. Awareness of all health care professionals involved in the care and treatment of older patients should be increased regarding the problems of misuse and abuse of drugs.
