How to Help Seniors Navigate the Road to Recovery
In providing this e-book, I hope to help educate and bring awareness to what I call the Silver Tsunami of aging and substance abuse. This guide is for everyone. Whether you are a sufferer of substance abuse or mental health, or you are a supportive family member, social workers and healthcare professional, this book is created for you.

That’s why it is imperative that we continue to highlight this issue and work together toward recovery.
