Substance Abuse and Brain Development.

When a young brain is in its developmental stage things can go a number of different ways.  Obviously, anything that developing brains are subjected to will affect the maturation process.  If drugs and/or alcohol enters the mix the results can have life-long profound impact when that brain transitions into adulthood.

What is myelination?  The maturing structure of the individual brain regions and their connecting pathways is essential for the successful development of cognitive, motor, and sensory functions.  We know drugs and alcohol to be mind-altering.  You have heard that term since the days of Timothy Leary.  Sometimes we tend not to take that seriously.

Drug and alcohol consumption during the formative teenage years can be catastrophic to future development.  Get a handle on it now.  Please visit our website www.blubythesea.com.  It will unveil new hope for the future.  Begin to heal on the northern shores of the beautiful Gulf of Mexico.  Call to arrange a visit at (850) 424-3252.
