According to a recent report, the increasing number of baby boomers will contribute to a pretty significant increase in the number of seniors who are engaged in problematic addictive behaviors - from 3 million currently to 9 million by 2020. With increasing treatment opportunities available, as well as new knowledge about the cause, prevention, and potential cure for various addictions, I am hopeful that everyone who needs help will be able to find it.
