Substance Abuse Counseling and Treatments
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 10 page paper discussing substance abuse counseling and treatments for people addicted to drugs and/or alcohol. Substance abuse counseling is an area within the social and therapeutic services discipline which requires counselors to have a high level of education (a B.A. with a Master’s preferred) and previous counseling experience and requires long and stressful counseling sessions, is not high paying and has a high burn out rate. Nevertheless, the necessity for substance abuse counselors in today’s society grows as does the incidence of alcohol and drug abuse especially in the adolescent populations. In addition to educational requirements, counselors must be skilled in many aspects of treatment and therapies including individual, group and family therapies as well as many techniques which include motivational therapy, relapse prevention, the Matrix-Model, supportive-expressive therapy, behavioral therapies and most recently recreational therapeutic programs in addition other external support programs such as the well proven 12-step programs introduced by Alcoholic Anonymous.

Substance Abuse in Older Adults
[ send me this essay ]
A 17 page paper examining the problems of alcohol and drug abuse in adults over the age of 60. Though increasing numbers of aging baby boomers may usher in the occurrence of many more cases of abuse of illicit drugs, currently it is prescription drugs and alcohol that cause the greatest number of substance abuse cases among those over the age of 60. Some seniors become drug abusers unwittingly and insidiously, often through misuse of prescription drugs and lack of knowledge of the drugs’ intended actions. Alcohol abuse can occur for the same kinds of reasons, given that its effects are more pronounced in the presence of the effects of age. Seniors likely need to be educated in these factors at the same time that they are being urged to consistently take their blood pressure medication or check their blood sugar. Whatever the reason that seniors cross the line into substance abuse, intervention needs to be thoughtful and sensitive. Includes and abstract and a 1-page outline. Bibliography lists 19 sources.

With legalization of cocaine and heroin at the turn of the twentieth century, the temptation was made much easier to indulge; by the 1950s, there was a preponderance of black junkies. With black youth representing a higher population of substance abusers than other ethnic populations other than Caucasian, research findings indicate that drug and alcohol abuse is predisposed to ethnicity.
