For adults over 50 years of age, experts believe substance use disorder (SUD) rates will rise from about 3 million in 2006 to almost 7 million in 2020. We often don’t think of the elderly when we think of drug or alcohol abuse, but rates for these are increasing at alarming rates. Here is a link to resources that can help>>

Division of Aging Services
The FY13 budget transferred senior supports and services from the Department of Health to the Department of Human Services. This restructuring:
• creates a single point of access for seniors and people with disabilities and their caregivers regardless of Medicaid eligibility
• improves the coordination of Federal and State funded programs for seniors and people with disabilities, including people who require specialized services for their physical or late-onset disabilities
• allows for a continuum of coordinated and integrated disability and long-term care resources
• creates the opportunity and the ability for aging adults to remain at home with proper supports
As we age and enter into our elderly years, it can become significantly harder to take care of all the bills, get health checkups regularly, consume enough nutritious foods, and do other day to day activities. It can be debilitating, physically and emotionally, to feel there is no help or relief from it all. Thankfully, there are dozens of government aid programs available specifically for seniors.
Millions of elderly people—those 65 and older—volunteer every year, but given this population is higher than 48 million (and projected to reach 80 million by 2050), there is plenty of room for growth.
