Kaye in Channel 5 Report on Older Adult Drug Addiction

Len Kaye, director of the University of Maine Center on Aging, was interviewed for a special Channel 5 (WABI) report Monday on the problem of older adults becoming addicted to prescription medications. Mixing them with alcohol or homeopathic remedies, the wrong combination of pills, or even taking them at the wrong time, can lead a senior to become addicted to drugs, Kaye says.
