Such a great post by Northstar Behavioral! A powerful reminder that addiction isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s often connected to things like anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

If you or someone you love is struggling, know that you’re not alone and that resources and support are out there. Reaching out is a sign of strength. 💪

For the past 10 years, Silver Sobriety has been dedicated to helping older adults find lasting recovery. Yet, in Minnesota, only two treatment centers exist that are specifically designed for seniors, and Medicare coverage for residential treatment is extremely limited.

Your support helps us change that reality. With scholarships and a proven, cost-effective model, Silver Sobriety provides hope and healing for seniors who might otherwise go without treatment.

$4,500 provides up to a full year of recovery services
$750 provides 1 month of recovery services
$188 provides 1 week of recovery services

Together, we can ensure seniors have access to recovery for decades to come. Consider a gift today and be part of this life-changing mission.

👉 Donate here:

Volunteer or donate to support Silver Sobriety's alcohol and drug addiction treatment program for seniors. Scholarships make the program affordable without insurance or Medicare.

October is Depression Awareness Month, and we recognize the profound impact depression can have throughout a person’s life. Depression is real—it is often a lifelong battle that deeply influences the misuse of alcohol and other substances.

At Silver Sobriety, we understand this connection and are committed to providing older adults with the support, resources, and community they need to heal, find hope, and embrace life in recovery. Together, we can break the stigma and remind one another that no one has to face this struggle alone.

Sometimes, just letting someone know you're thinking about them can make all the difference. ✨

This past weekend, our community came together for the Walk for Recovery, hosted by Minnesota Recovery Connection.

It was a powerful reminder that none of us walk this journey alone. Every step taken was in honor of those finding strength, celebrating recovery, and remembering loved ones.

At Silver Sobriety, we are proud to stand alongside so many who share in the mission of hope, healing, and support. Thank you to everyone who showed up, walked with us, and continues to advocate for recovery in our community. Together, we are stronger.
