(Health-NewsWire.Net, November 26, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- According to Wesh more than 4 million from the baby boomer generation are suffering with untreated substance use disorders- and they're not getting treatment for it. Baby boomers are actively using marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and prescription medications. Many in this demographic are over the age of 50. Those evaluated by medical professionals may be misdiagnosed with conditions developing later on in life including diabetes, dementia, depression, and loss of motor skills- when in some cases, symptoms observed are a direct result from an untreated substance use disorder. Drug Rehab Orlando advises treating older adults with the same rationale as one would approach and speak to teenagers openly about substance use disorders.
An associate from the rehabilitation center comments, "You must keep the channels of communication alive with parents and loved ones as they get older. Depression and undiagnosed mental health conditions can help spur instances of addiction and substance abuse. Remaining open and encouraging will help your loved ones open up about their addictions, similarly to young adults. The need for companionship, understanding, and medical support is equally important. Loved ones must help medical professionals look clear the potential of substance abuse before deigning physical or psychological symptoms a function of 'getting older.' With 4 million people with this problem, we think it's better safe than sorry."
Drug Rehab Orlando offers both detoxification and rehabilitation services to those with chronic substance use disorders and experimental instances of substance abuse. Treatment revolves around cognitive behavioral therapy, and does not rely on maintenance therapy, which can be harmful, and often perpetuates addiction after graduation from rehabilitation programs.
Drug Rehab Orlando specializes in heroin rehab in Orlando, and provides individualized treatment to each client dependent upon one's genetic history of addiction, previous treatment, level of addiction, and substances abused. The treatment facility accepts most major forms of insurance.
