Aging, Addiction, and Recovery: A Guide for Understanding and Confronting Senior Substance Abuse

Substance abuse among seniors is a growing concern within the elderly population, necessitating a compassionate and comprehensive understanding of this complex issue. While substance abuse is commonly associated with younger age groups, the prevalence of drug and alcohol misuse among seniors is steadily increasing. This is largely due to a combination of factors, including changes in social norms, increased accessibility to prescription medications, and the desire to cope with chronic pain, loneliness, or other age-related challenges.

In this book, we aim to provide a comprehensive guide that not only acknowledges the specific needs of seniors but also offers practical strategies for recovery. By examining the experiences of senior citizens navigating the complexities of addiction, we hope to shed light on their journey and inspire readers to consider the importance of supporting this often-overlooked demographic.
