Older Adults
Older Adults can also be at risk for substance abuse. Typically heavier drugs such as heroin and cocaine are not an issue. However, alcohol and prescription drugs separately and together can be. Studies have shown around 2% of people 65 or older have an alcohol use problem while 10% of those would be considered heavy drinkers. Prescription drug overuse is also a worry for this age group as the population of 65 and older is responsible for nearly one third of all prescription drug sales. The use of alcohol and prescription drugs together can lead to other side effects (e.g. nausea and dizziness) The mixing of alcohol and certain prescription medications can make existing conditions worsen (e.g. heart conditions).

Treatment methods tend to be similar to those of younger adults but withdrawal symptoms can become more dangerous with age.

Finland
Study Abroad programs in Finland involve students from a variety of other countries (primarily the United States, Mexico, Brazil and Canada). As a high school I studied abroad in Kuopio, Finland which is a city in the central eastern part of the country.
