Background: Benzodiazepine receptor agonist (BZRA) use disorder among older adults is a relatively common and challenging clinical condition.
Method: The Canadian Coalition for Seniors' Mental Health, with financial support from Health Canada, has produced evidence-based guidelines on the prevention, identification, assessment, and management of this form of substance use disorder.
Results: Inappropriate use of BZRAs should be avoided by considering non-pharmacological approaches to the management of late life insomnia, anxiety, and other common indications for the use of BZRA.
