- Abstract
The article discusses examples of team-based approaches to substance use within Programs of All-inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) in the U.S. Under PACE, impoverished older adults have an option of community-based long-term care. The efforts of an interprofessional team to address the diagnoses of bipolar disorder and opioid use disorder in a 65-year-old Hispanic American woman are related. Also described is the outcome of the approach in the case of a 74-year-old African American male.
