Illicit drug use/misuse among older adults is understudied, although current trends point to older adults being the fastest-growing segment in the United States and other developed countries. There is a need for further insight into drug use patterns in older adults, who face their own set of socioeconomic, medical, and psychiatric problems. We reviewed the literature for data related to use/misuse of heroin and stimulants (cocaine, amphetamines, and methamphetamines) among people over the age of 40 years. We focused on prevalence rates of use/misuse of these substances, comorbidities, diagnostic challenges, screening tools, and treatment recommendations specific to the geriatric population.
老年人中非法药物使用/滥用的研究较少，尽管目前的趋势表明，老年人是美国和其他发达国家增长最快的群体。需要进一步深入了解老年人的药物使用模式，他们面临着自己的一系列社会经济、医疗和精神健康问题。我们查阅了相关文献，以获取有关 40 岁以上人群使用/滥用海洛因和兴奋剂（可卡因、安非他命和甲基苯丙胺）的数据。我们重点关注这些物质的使用/滥用的流行率、合并症、诊断挑战、筛查工具以及针对老年人群体的治疗建议。
