What is Aging in Recovery?
Aging in Recovery refers to the experiences, needs, challenges, and opportunities facing older adults living in recovery from substance use disorders.
As people with years, and often decades, of recovery enter older adulthood, important questions emerge around aging in place, transportation, caregiving, social connection, home care, housing, and recovery-informed services.
AgingInRecovery.com exists to bring visibility to this overlooked population, what I call the Invisible Cohort: people whose recovery has succeeded, but whose later-life needs remain largely unseen by research, policy, and service systems.
If you are aging in recovery, know someone who is, work in aging services, provide care, conduct research, or care about the future of recovery, you are invited to join the conversation.
