Managing Addiction in Baby Boomers
As the Baby Boomer Generation ages, a growing concern is the increased rate of addiction among this demographic. This issue is often overlooked, but it’s crucial to address it head-on. The Baby Boomer generation, was exposed to a cultural revolution of drug experimentation that’s left many grappling with addiction issues in their later years. We must understand that the roots of addiction in Baby Boomers differ from those of younger generations. Many Baby Boomers battle with prescription drug addiction, often stemming from medications prescribed for chronic pain or Mental Health issues. The struggle is exacerbated by the fact that this generation is less likely to seek help due to the societal stigma associated with addiction.
Substance addictions include dependencies on alcohol, illegal drugs like heroin or cocaine, and prescription medications such as opioids or sedatives. Behavior addictions involve compulsive behaviors, like gambling, internet use, or shopping, which can also provide a “high” or temporary pleasure. The causes of addiction include generic factors, where family history plays a significant role; environmental factors, such as exposure to drugs at a young age; and psychological factors which includes Trauma or chronic Stress.
In this area of the site, our experts explore and help us with the understanding that with addiction, it is essential for our generation to effectively address it within our communities and society in general. It requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders to provide Education, support and treatment for all of us that are suffering from addiction.
