How do we best support someone who struggles with addiction of alcohol and/or drugs who is also living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia (ADRD)? Join Ann Olin, program manager of Geriatric Addictions for a discussion on the intersection between addiction and Alzheimer’s. We will explore: 1) Risk factors for dementia for people living with a chronic addiction; 2) How to distinguish between memory loss related to substance use versus loss related to ADRD; and 3) Possible approaches of how to support the safety and well-being of someone living with addiction and dementia.
