CEOs More Likely to Become Drug Addicts, Study Says
Miami, Florida (PRWEB) August 11, 2013 -- As reported by Forbes.com (8/6) in their news story, Why The Brains Of High-Powered People May Be More Prone To Addiction, David Linden, PhD, a neuroscience professor at Johns Hopkins’ School of Medicine, says that the traits that make a good CEO including the drive for success and obsession is also the type of behavior that makes an addict.
Drug abuse strikes anyone from any profession including executives, lawyers, doctors and teachers. llegal drugs pose serious consequences to users including numerous physical issues up to and including death, loss of job, home, family and eventually, self-respect.

According to the news story, Why The Brains Of High-Powered People May Be More Prone To Addiction, Linden says, “My strong, strong suspicion is that what makes some people more likely to rise to top is same thing that makes them more likely to be addicts.”
Linden believes that addiction is so prevalent in our society because it's based on learning. He feels that executives tend to be very good learners, which means they're more likely to become addictive to drugs or alcohol. It is important for them to unlearn the behavior that led to their addiction. He adds, “Instead of Pavlov’s dog, you’re learning association to gambling or alcohol. The molecular mechanisms underlying reward in the different forms of learning… they’re really the same.”
“Drug addicts need to receive treatment as soon as possible or suffer the harmful effects that could end their life. A certified detox center offers the substance abusers the best option for a quick recovery,” said Robert Niznik, Harbor Village CEO.
