Gambling-related harm crosses borders. Our response must too.

On November 12, Caron will join the University of East London, Brock Recovery Group and Vanderbilt University in London for the inaugural Brock Recovery Group Summit.

— Professor Amanda J. Broderick, Vice-Chancellor & President, University of East London

For older adults, recognizing addiction is only the first step. Accessing treatment can present another challenge.

In Behavioral Health Business, Caron Treatment Centers Clinical Supervisor Diana Santiago explains how signs of substance use disorders can be mistaken for age related changes, including cognitive difficulties. This can leave addiction overlooked and delay appropriate care.

Diana emphasizes the need to educate physicians and social workers about what to look for and how to screen appropriately. Even when addiction is identified, Medicare coverage gaps can create barriers to residential treatment.

Her perspective underscores the importance of better screening, greater awareness, and access to care that addresses older adults’ unique needs.

Thank you to Ashleigh Hollowell and Behavioral Health Business for highlighting this issue and including Caron’s perspective.
