As the human life span grows longer there are more aging adults within society than ever before. In this training, myths and assumptive generalizations associated with aging will be examined and discussed. Discrimination and stigma attached to older adults will be investigated in order to better understand personal biases. Addiction issues relative to this population will be explored and means of integrating the multiple difficulties of the aging process into addiction assessment and treatment will be presented.
