الملخص EN

Adolescents and young adults continue to remain the main focus of attention with regards to substance use related problems.

There has been a limited focus on illicit substance use among middle aged and elderly population.

The current study explored the changing trends of substance use among treatment seeking middle aged individuals (aged 40–60 years) at a tertiary level drug dependence treatment centre.

The questionnaire used to gather information for the study is a 19-item structured questionnaire.

It includes information on various sociodemographic variables, “current,” and “ever” use of substance.

Information is also collected on variables related to high risk injecting drug use and HIV status of the individuals.

There has been consistent increase in the population of treatment seekers over five years.

Over the five-year period, the absolute percentage increase in treatment seeking population is approximately 21%.

Polysubstance use was found to increase significantly over five-study years (PTrend = 0.007).
