Manor, TX -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/11/2016 -- In a report published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the onset of drugs and alcohol addiction usually start after age 48.

What then is the reason why these so-called boomers turn to drugs and alcohol?

Stress is a major factor. People who become dependent to drugs and alcohol in midlife are usually the result of stress brought about by the nation's economic downturn. People in the middle age usually turn to addiction and self-medicate with alcohol or drugs. Not being able to send their children to school, not being able to pay the equity of their homes are some examples of stress prompting these boomers to resort to drugs and alcohol with the hope that for a moment, they will be able to forget their problems.

Divorce is another major reason for substance abuse among the boomers. With almost 50% of marriages ending in divorce according to a report published by the Forest Institute of Professional Psychology, a number of men and women who go through the difficulties of divorce resort to outside sources like drugs and alcohol to alleviate their emotional pains. With this damaging the emotional well-being of the person, they eventually detach themselves from their families and friends, and most often losing their jobs as well.

Fortunately, there are rehabilitation centers like BRC Recovery who come to the aid of the middle-aged people abusing illegal substances. Being a well-known drug rehab in Houston, Texas, BRC Recovery believes that recovery from drugs and alcohol goes beyond chemical dependency abstinence. Learning new skills and developing new habits, paired with having that spiritual healing are all vital in healing a person from substance addiction.

Having these patients accountable for their lives and having them develop discipline are some of the struggles of those being dependent to drugs and alcohol. And these are things that BRC focuses on.
