Myths & Realities for Older<br />
Adults and Substance Abuse<br />
Can older adults really change?<br />
� Yes. In fact, older adults have the highest success rate<br />
of recovery of any age group!<br />
At her age, what difference does it make?<br />
� This perspective is influenced by ageism and thinking<br />
that older people have little value. Many professionals<br />
say the later years are the most important years for<br />
spiritual growth and transformation. Quality of life<br />
can greatly improve in recovery‐ at any age.<br />
