Best Drug Rehabilitation Issues Warning on Alcohol and Increased Risk of Dementia
Manistee, Michigan (PRWEB) June 15, 2015 -- Anybody that is experiencing the effects of alcohol abuse in their lives, or who is witnessing a loved one struggling with alcoholism, will find even more reason to seek treatment in the latest blog post from Best Drug Rehabilitation, an open-ended holistic treatment center for substance abuse located in western Michigan.
According to a recent study published by the Oxford University Press on behalf of The Gerontological Society of America, heavy alcohol consumption in midlife greatly increases the risk of developing dementia later in life, such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s or Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.
“Our goal is to help people to live healthy and fulfilling lives, free from drugs and alcohol,” commented Best Drug Rehabilitation founder and CEO Per Wickstrom. “By educating people on the dangers of substance abuse, hopefully we can convince people to make the necessary lifestyle changes that will allow them to achieve this goal, and save some lives in the process. Education is our number one tool in the fight against this thing that we call addiction.”
