Presents: Motivational Enhancement with Older Adults

Date: Thursday September 17, 2025

Time: 1pm-4pm

Location: Zoom

Presented by Steve Wiland, LMSW, ICADC, CCS

Although alcohol continues to be the most commonly used and misused substance among older adults, the misuse of other substances is also of significant concern. Benzodiazepines, opioids, and “medical” or recreational marijuana can lead to dependency and have many side effects. This presentation will provide helpful information, strategies, and resources for engaging with older adults who have a substance use disorder, and enhancing their motivation to participate in addictions treatment.

1. Increase Awareness of Co-Occurring Disorders in Older Adults


2. Promote Holistic and Culturally Responsive Wellness Strategies


3. Strengthen Multidisciplinary Care Coordination and Engagement
