episode Addiction Is Public. Recovery Is Invisible. cover

Addiction Is Public. Recovery Is Invisible.

Millions of Americans are living in long-term recovery. Not days. Not months. But decades. In this episode, Gilberto Cintron explores the growing population of older adults aging in long-term recovery — what he calls “The Invisible Cohort.” While addiction remains highly visible through arrests, overdoses, treatment systems, and media portrayals, recovery often becomes quiet, private, and forgotten. Yet millions of individuals who survived addiction decades ago are now entering older adulthood and confronting the realities of aging, chronic illness, trauma, isolation, and long-term care needs. This episode examines: • Why recovery becomes invisible • How addiction affects every level of society • The hidden population of professionals and public figures in recovery • Aging, trauma, and long-term recovery • Recovery-informed home care, assisted living, and nursing care • The development of the Aging in Recovery Residential Model (ARRM) • The mission of Never Alone Home Care Services, Inc. This conversation challenges traditional views of addiction and asks an urgent question: What happens when the recovery generation itself begins aging? https://nahcs.nyc [https://nahcs.nyc]

episode Baby Boomers in Recovery and the Invisible Cohort cover

Baby Boomers in Recovery and the Invisible Cohort

In this episode, We discuss Aging in Recovery and the millions of Americans now growing older after surviving addiction, rebuilding their lives, and remaining in long-term recovery for decades. The discussion explores the connection between the social upheaval of the 1960s and 70s, the drug epidemics that followed, and the emerging population of older adults aging in recovery today. Topics include: • Long-term recovery and identity transformation • Trauma, PTSD, grief, and aging • Recovery-informed home care and aging services • The Aging in Recovery Residential Model (ARRM) • Why traditional elder care systems often fail to understand recovery culture • The importance of peer support, dignity, purpose, and community in later life This episode argues that recovery is not merely abstinence — it is a lifelong process of rebuilding a human life across decades. And as the recovery generation ages, society must begin developing systems designed specifically for older adults living in long-term recovery.

Aging in Recovery and the Invisible Cohort

In this episode, we explore the emerging concept of Aging in Recovery and the growing population of older adults living in long-term recovery who have largely remained invisible within both addiction systems and traditional aging services. This discussion examines how millions of Americans survived addiction, rebuilt their lives, raised families, established careers, and maintained recovery for decades — yet now face the realities of aging with little recognition or recovery-informed support. Topics include: • The hidden population of older adults in long-term recovery • Why recovery often becomes “invisible” once people stabilize • Trauma, grief, PTSD, incarceration, and aging • The limitations of traditional treatment and aging models • Recovery-informed home care and support services • NAHCS and the Aging in Recovery Residential Model (ARRM) • The importance of peer support, dignity, and community in later life • Why long-term recovery is far more than abstinence This episode argues that recovery is not simply the absence of substances. Recovery is a lifelong process of rebuilding identity, relationships, purpose, emotional stability, and community across decades. And as America itself continues aging, society must begin preparing for the growing number of people aging in long-term recovery. Because the generation that survived addiction and helped build recovery communities should not grow old forgotten… or invisible

episode Abstinence Vs Recovery cover

Abstinence Vs Recovery

In this episode, we explore one of the most misunderstood conversations in addiction and recovery: Is abstinence the same thing as recovery? Drawing from lived experience, long-term recovery communities, and professional observation, this discussion examines the critical differences between simply stopping substance use and the deeper lifelong process of recovery itself. Topics include: • Short-term abstinence vs long-term transformation • Why remission alone may not equal recovery • Recovery as identity change, emotional growth, and behavioral transformation • The limitations of many clinical and treatment models • Recovery capital, community, accountability, and purpose • Why long-term recovery unfolds across decades — not weeks or months • The implications for Aging in Recovery and ARRM This episode challenges the idea that recovery can be measured solely by clean time or symptom reduction and argues that true recovery involves rebuilding every aspect of a human life: Mind. Body. Relationships. Purpose. Identity. Community. As increasing numbers of people now achieve decades of sustained recovery, this conversation asks society to begin thinking beyond crisis intervention and toward lifelong recovery-informed systems of support. #Recovery #AddictionRecovery #LongTermRecovery #AgingInRecovery #ARRM #BehavioralHealth #MentalHealth #PeerSupport

episode Aging in Recovery: The Questions We Still Have Not Asked cover

Aging in Recovery: The Questions We Still Have Not Asked

What happens when people remain clean and sober for 20, 30, or even 40 years or more, and begin confronting the realities of aging? In this videocast, Gilberto Cintron, LMSW — a person with long-term recovery and founder of Never Alone Home Care Services (NAHCS) — explores the growing but often overlooked population of older adults aging in long-term recovery from substance use disorders. This discussion examines: • Aging in Recovery • Long-term recovery and aging • Recovery-informed systems of care • The Aging in Recovery Residential Model (ARRM) • Gaps between aging services and recovery culture • The need for research and social policy development • The future needs of older adults in recovery Not everyone aging in recovery requires services. Many continue to thrive, work, volunteer, mentor others, and contribute meaningfully to society. But some will eventually require support from systems capable of understanding both aging and recovery culture. This conversation is intended to help broaden awareness among social workers, healthcare providers, policymakers, researchers, treatment professionals, and people with lived experience.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
