People over 60 are increasingly finding their way into recovery, proving that it’s never too late to reclaim your life. Whether it’s the result of a decades-long battle with substance use or a more recent struggle triggered by loss, pain, or isolation, older adults are beginning to access treatment, support, and community in ways that were often out of reach in the past. Recovery at this stage of life brings unique challenges—like managing chronic health conditions, facing stigma, or navigating strained family relationships—but it also offers powerful opportunities for renewal, connection, and purpose.

Her journey is living proof that recovery is not about finding the right time; it’s about readiness, support, and hope.
