Age-Specific Addiction Treatment for Older Adults in St. Paul, MN

Addiction does not look the same at every stage of life. General rehabilitation programs may place a 20-year-old and a 70-year-old in the same treatment environment, even though older adults often face very different challenges.

Grief after losing a spouse, chronic or physical pain, retirement, fixed-income concerns, social isolation, transportation barriers, and managing multiple prescriptions can all affect recovery. Age-specific addiction treatment for older adults in St. Paul, MN addresses these realities instead of treating every client the same.

Senior Recovery Center was established in 1978 as the first senior-specific treatment program in the nation. With 48 years of senior recovery experience, we have spent decades developing care around the needs of adults aged 50 and older.

As a Twin Cities pioneer, our program is exclusively dedicated to the 50+ community. Our senior-centered recovery protocol follows federal protocols for treating substance use disorder among older adults, creating a specialized approach that general rehabilitation programs may not provide.

With a slower-paced, respectful environment, we help clients work through addiction while addressing the circumstances surrounding it. We consider mobility concerns, chronic pain, grief, isolation, transportation needs, and other challenges that can influence recovery.

Our facility is dedicated to supporting vulnerable adults in recovery, offering full accessibility to people with disabilities. Volunteer drivers can provide transportation to and from clinical treatment for clients living within 10 miles of our facility. Limited group sizes and caseloads also allow our counselors to provide more individualized attention. 

Senior Recovery Center is a 245G licensed clinic in Twin Cities, located at 200 Plato Blvd and operating Monday through Friday. Our clinical team includes LADC professionals, social workers, and medical oversight with experience in geriatric addiction treatment.

We provide age-specific addiction treatment for older adults in St. Paul, MN by combining rigorous clinical therapy with evidence‑based 12‑step integration and complementary holistic approaches tailored to older adults’ needs.
