ARRM Pillar Six: Research, Evaluation, and Evidence Development
from Aging In Recovery Hosted by Gil Cintron, LMSW
The Invisible Cohort: Why Nobody Studies Long-Term Recovery In this episode of Aging in Recovery, Gilberto Cintron, LMSW, discusses Pillar Six of the Aging in Recovery Residential Model (ARRM): Research, Evaluation, and Evidence Development. Why do public systems track addiction, overdose, incarceration, hospitalization, and treatment admissions—but rarely study what happens after decades of sustained recovery? This episode explores the research gap surrounding older adults in long-term recovery and argues that the Aging in Recovery population deserves serious study, serious evaluation, and serious systems design. Topics include evidence-based practice, implementation science, quality-of-life measurement, resident voice, university partnerships, and the possibility of Aging in Recovery emerging as a new field of study. Because invisibility is not only a social problem. It is also a research problem. And perhaps it is time to begin correcting it. Personally, I think "The Invisible Cohort: Why Nobody Studies Long-Term Recovery" is the strongest title you've created so far because it creates curiosity, highlights your core concept, and appeals to both recovery audiences and professionals.
