Anti-aging/Longevity Medicine Reduces the Prevalence of Alcoholism and Drug Addiction
The utility of hormonal replacement therapy and other proactive longevity medicine practiced by A4M physicians not only improves the quality of life in patients, it also prevents unnecessary depression, anxiety and insomnia disorders all of which cause subsequent addiction.
Normalizing brain chemistry with medication, bio-identical hormone replacement and nutraceutical supplementation balances brain activity and eliminates craving and self medication with alcohol and drugs. Patients utilize drugs and alcohol either to stimulate under-active brain regions or relax over-active brain systems. The aberrant electrical activity in the addicted patient’s brain is typically caused by inherited or acquired biochemical and hormonal deficiencies.
Accurate diagnosis based on neurotransmitter, hormonal and neuro-imaging studies allows effective treatment of underlying biochemical and electrical imbalances. Effective treatment of anxiety, attention deficit disorders, depression, insomnia, fatigue and other addiction causes frequently eliminates alcohol and drug addictions.
