Silver Sobriety

Silver Sobriety At Silver Sobriety, we provide older adults with affordable recovery services for alcohol and drug addiction.

Please donate to support our Seniors in our community and Silver Sobriety’s outreach. Why is Silver Sobriety better for seniors than existing recovery programs? We minimize barriers by focusing on the unique needs of seniors.
• Age Specific Care: We only serve people ages 50 and older. Older adults will connect with their peers and work on issues unique to their age group. This approach increases the likelihood of success.
• The Right Pace: Our program moves at a pace that is fitting for older adults.
• The Right Length: Research shows that longer programs lead to better outcomes. We provide a continuum of care across providers, health plans, medical professionals and counties that provides support from an acute care model to continuing care.
• Flexible: Because we are a non-clinical model, our program is not dictated by insurance companies and unnecessary medical over-regulation. This allows us to be client-centered and flexible.
• Reachable: Transportation will be provided at no cost to those within a 15 mile radius of Stillwater, MN.
• Affordable: Out of pocket costs for the Silver Sobriety program is $4,500
• Accessible: We strive to remove barriers to recovery and never turn anyone away based on ability to pay. We believe that no matter your age, you can overcome substance abuse with the right support and resources.

“Is it more than just a ‘few too many’? — What experts say about Alcohol Use Disorder.”

We came across this helpful article that outlines the signs, risks, and next steps related to Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). It really hit home for us at Silver Sobriety - because awareness and knowledge are often the first steps toward health and healing.

Here’s what stood out and why it matters for anyone on a sobriety or mindful-living path:
🌿 The article discusses how AUD isn’t always obvious, and it can show up in ways many people don’t expect, like changes in behavior, coping with stress, or ongoing “just one more” cravings.
🌿 It calls out that AUD is not a moral failing or a judgment - it’s a health issue grounded in biology, environment, and life circumstances. That means what someone needs is compassion, support, and connection, not shame.
🌿 Recognizing these signs early can prevent long-term harm to physical health, relationships, mental wellness, and overall quality of life.
🚨 Importantly: change is possible. With support, understanding, and resources, people can reclaim health, restore balance, and start fresh.

What this means for our community:
At Silver Sobriety, we believe recovery and mindful living begin with awareness and with community. If this article resonated with you, you’re not alone. Whether you’re sober, cutting back, curious, or supporting a loved one, knowledge + empathy + shared strength can guide the way.

If this hit home, share your thoughts or send us a DM if you’d like support or resources (www.silversobriety.org). We’re here — and we’re in this together!

As we close out the year, we’re reflecting with gratitude.

This year brought meaningful growth for Silver Sobriety—new connections, deeper community, and powerful reminders of why our work matters. Every conversation, gathering, and shared story reinforced the truth that recovery is possible at every stage of life when support is within reach.

Yet for many older adults, access to addiction recovery services remains limited. Your support helps close that gap—funding scholarships, reducing barriers, and ensuring seniors are not turned away when they are ready for help.

👉 As the year comes to a close, please consider making a tax-deductible gift to Silver Sobriety. No matter the size, your contribution helps create hope, connection, and healing for older adults in recovery. DONATE HERE: https://www.paypal.com/US/fundraiser/charity/2408129

Looking ahead, we wish you a New Year filled with health, peace, and purpose. Thank you for being part of a community that believes everyone deserves dignity, support, and a fresh start.

🌿 Here’s to continued growth, compassion, and progress ahead.

How does high-intensity drinking differ from binge drinking?

Many of us have been warned about binge drinking. What’s more alarming is what researchers are now seeing: high-intensity drinking — eight or more drinks in one sitting for women, ten or more for men — is increasing, especially among adults in midlife. While younger adults are drinking less, others are consuming more alcohol in a single session than ever before, with significantly higher risks to health, safety, and long-term well-being.

This isn’t just a holiday issue, and it isn’t confined to college culture. It’s happening in everyday lives, often unnoticed because it’s been normalized.

At Silver Sobriety, awareness is the first step toward change. If this raises questions or concerns for you or someone you care about, that’s your signal to pause, learn more, and start a different conversation. Read the article, reflect on your own habits, and know that support, education, and community exist at Silver Sobriety: www.silversobriety.org

This holiday season, we hold our entire Silver Sobriety community close.

To those currently walking their recovery journey with us — and to our alumni who continue to demonstrate what is possible — we see your courage, commitment, and resilience. The holidays can bring added emotions and challenges, and your choice to prioritize recovery during this season matters more than you may know.

To our supporters, partners, advocates, and friends: thank you for standing beside this mission. Your belief, generosity, and encouragement help ensure that older adults never have to navigate recovery alone.

We are deeply grateful to everyone who makes Silver Sobriety what it is — a community built on dignity, connection, and hope.

Wishing you peace, warmth, and meaningful moments this holiday season; Happy holidays from all of us at Silver Sobriety.

The holiday season can be joyful — and challenging — for those in recovery.

Heightened stress, changes in routine, and social gatherings that center on alcohol or substances can increase vulnerability this time of year. That’s why connection, structure, and support matter more than ever.

Helpful reminders during the holidays:
• Maintaining routines can provide stability
• Staying connected to support systems is protective
• Setting boundaries is a strength, not a weakness
• Planning ahead reduces stress and risk
• Self-compassion is an essential part of recovery

Recovery doesn’t pause for the holidays — and no one should have to navigate this season alone. Whether it’s attending meetings, checking in with a trusted person, or creating new sober traditions, support makes a difference.

If you or someone you know could use extra support this season, please reach out. Help and community are always available: www.silversobriety.org

As we reflect on the past few months, we’re filled with gratitude for the community that has surrounded Silver Sobriety — showing up, supporting one another, and believing in the importance of recovery at every stage of life.

These moments of connection remind us why this work matters and how deeply rooted our mission has become over the past ten years. To everyone who has followed our journey, shared our story, supported our services, or simply believed in the work we do — thank you. Your support has shaped who we are today.

As we celebrate this milestone anniversary, we also look ahead with intention and hope. The need remains, the mission continues, and we are committed to serving our community for the next 10+ years and beyond.

We are grateful to walk this path together.

Great insight and ideas from Prairie St John's - take a look!

12/17/2025

For ten years, Silver Sobriety has served a population that is too often overlooked — adults over 50 navigating recovery from alcohol addiction without access to traditional support systems.

When Medicare and Medicaid no longer cover needed services, and age-specific recovery options are limited, many individuals are left without a path forward. Silver Sobriety exists to fill that gap.

Over the past decade, we’ve walked alongside people rebuilding their lives through sober living support, community, and dignity. As we close our first ten years, we are proud — and deeply aware that the need for these services continues to grow.

That’s where monthly support matters.

A recurring donation of just $10 a month helps keep our services accessible for individuals who might otherwise go without support. It sustains programming, connection, and the stability that recovery requires.

If you believe recovery support should be available at every stage of life, we invite you to join us as we enter our next decade.
