    Insomnia could be correlated to alcohol and substance abuse, according to a recent study.
    January 22 2015

    Poor sleep could be a contributing factor in drug and alcohol addictions

    admin Addictions

    Researches at Idaho State University have found that insomnia could be a predictor of alcohol and substance abuse in adolescents. 

    The scientists analyzed data from 6,504 adolescents who participated in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health and determined that adolescents who experienced poor and insufficient sleep were more likely to report drug and alcohol addictions later on. Insomniacs typically reported alcohol abuse one year after the sleep difficulties began, and drug and nicotine addictions were reported an average of 3.5 years after the onset of sleep problems. 

    "This study has added to the existing literature by establishing the relationship between two sleep variables — sleep difficulties and hours of sleep — and the odds of serious alcohol- and drug-related problems in a nationally representative sample," said Maria M. Wong, professor and director of experimental training at Idaho State University, in an official statement. 

    At Fairwinds Treatment Center, we understand that there are a variety of factors that contribute to addiction problems, and achieving long-term recovery depends on addressing all of those issues. That's why Dr. M.K. (Khal) El-Yousef founded the center over 25 years ago, to implement his dual diagnosis method of treatment. Dr. El-Yousef believes that true healing comes from therapeutic counseling as well as clinical treatment. Patients must undertake transformative work on a variety of fronts in their life, so they can tackle addiction from the inside out. 

    The professional and experienced staff at Fairwinds is fully dedicated to strengthening society by strengthening families, and strengthening families by healing individuals. If you believe that you recognize the symptoms of addiction in a loved one, call Fairwinds today to find out about various treatment options. As one of the top dual diagnosis treatment centers in the nation, Fairwinds can promise the very best care.
