Illinois Coalition on Substance Use and Aging (ICSUA) informs us about medications and prescriptions.
Many older adults take multiple medications on a regular basis. It is critically important to understand how to use these commonly prescribed medications safely in order to avoid unintentional misuse.
This workshop provides older adults, senior care workers, and adult children with aging parents with information to help identify signs of medication misuse, recognize how medications and alcohol interact, and gather tips for using prescribed medications safely and effectively. Nina J. Henry, LCPC, CADC, Addiction Specialist at JCFS Chicago will present. A licensed pharmacist, Tran H. Tran, PharmD, BCPS will be on hand to answer questions about your medicine and to provide Naloxone training.
Everyone is welcome, but registration is strongly recommended.
