Book excerpt: "Angela's Ashes" tells of life in Ireland in the mid-twentieth century, as seen through the eyes of a poor boy. "Fifty Years Before Crack" describes the culture of blue-collar Baltimore during that same period, fifty years before crack cocaine distribution became the principal industry. In an era before credit cards, two-car garages, shopping malls, mutual funds, designer jeans, Little Leagues, TV, PCs and civil rights legislation; boys earned pennies to supplement family income, parents believed the word of adults rather than that of their children, and the kids had a knack for entertaining themselves without adult involvement. It also was a time when politicians were servants of the people rather than being self-serving, and teachers, pastors, police and lawyers were held in high esteem.

Download or read book Substance Use and Older People written by Ilana Crome and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-10-14 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Substance use and addiction is an increasing problem amongst older people. The identification of this problem is often more difficult in older patients and is frequently missed, particularly in the primary care context and in emergency departments, but also in a range of medical and psychiatric specialties. Substance Use and Older People shows how to recognise and treat substance problems in older patients. However, it goes well beyond assessment and diagnosis by incorporating up-to-date evidence on the management of those older people who are presenting with chronic complex disorders, which result from the problematic use of alcohol, inappropriate prescribed or over the counter medications, tobacco, or other drugs. It also examines a variety of biological and psychosocial approaches to the understanding of these issues in the older population and offers recommendations for policy. Substance Use and Older People is a valuable resource for geriatricians, old age psychiatrists, addiction psychiatrists, primary care physicians, and gerontologists as well as policy makers, researchers, and educators. It is also relevant for residents and fellows training in geriatrics or geri-psychiatry, general practitioners and nursing home physicians.
