Substance Abuse Among The Mentally Ill
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. Learning to live with one mental disorder is more than enough of a challenge for most people; having that reality intensified by adding substance abuse to the mix makes one's existence on earth a struggle at best and a life threatening confrontation at worst. The coupling of mental illness and substance abuse represents a situation where one disorder leads to the other by virtue of being out of touch with reality; engaging in drug use often occurs when mentally ill individuals drift toward other subgroups where such abuse is a common denominator between and among the members. In order to address the duality of mental illness and substance abuse, cognitive behavioral therapy is a recommended approach to reconstruct the way in which the individual perceives his or her entire external and internal environment. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Substance Abuse And Cognitive Behavior Therapy
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page paper. Cognitive behavior therapy joins two effective approaches, cognitive therapy and behavior therapy, with the objective of changing both the individual's thinking patterns and the habitual behavioral reactions to certain internal and external stimuli. All three of these models have been found to be successful in treating a plethora of conditions. At least one research study concluded that combining cognitive behavior therapy with family based therapy was even more effective in reducing substance abuse among adolescents. But, why is it that the research reports different results when the same approach is used to treat substance abuse? This essay concludes with an answer to this question. Includes half-page abstract. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Substance Abuse in Older Adults
[ send me this paper ]
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.
