Question by CreatioN: Is past extensive cocaine use and alcohol abuse treatable?
Im sorry if my question did not come out right, i’ll do the best i can to explain my situation.

My mother is 54 going on 55. In the past back in the 80s up to the 2000s, she did extensive coke use and was(or is) an alcoholic. She appears to be lack confidence and can be so controlling at times. She can never calm down nevertheless hold a job i think. When you do alot of cocaine, i know you lose your mind. You go a bit insane and paranoid. Is there any long-term treatments or options that i should take that can calm her down? She smoke cigarettes every day, so many packs and it will not improve her heart and medical conditions at all. Im very very close to sending her to a nursing home or have her seek counseling, but im trying to find out what other options that i can take that dont involve her leaving the house. Im so extremely lost, please help and God bless.

It sounds like she has a personality that is very prone to addiction. She sounds like she may have other issues as well, which might benefit from professional help.

You can recover from addictions, but they don’t really go away, in the sense that you cannot resume use of a substance to which you’ve previously been addicted without running the very real risk of falling into addiction again. Thus, alcoholics (for example) remain alcoholic for life, even though they may recover from their alcoholism by abstaining permanently from alcohol. A recovered addict is, for all practical purposes, the same as anyone else, except that he can never touch the substance to which he was previously addicted without the risk of a major relapse.

Give your answer to this question below!

Strategic planning begins with a set of long term care quotes from the major carriers of long term care insurance (LTCI) policies.

Major LTCI carriers pertain to Genworth Financial, MedAmerica, Prudential, and others who are in the same league.  Trust only companies with an excellent track record especially in the area of paying out claims, otherwise you could end up throwing away money. 

There is no denying the power of LTCI in the long term care (LTC) arena as it is the only product that provides financial protection aside from full or partial LTC coverage.  Other types of LTC plans will let you receive care in exchange of something that is valuable to you and your family. 

So, would you go for a plan that promises only one benefit or another one which ensures you that everything you’ve worked hard to acquire shall be protected and passed on to your loved ones?

Of course, everybody prefers the one that guarantees financial protection besides long term health care coverage.  Unfortunately, LTCI policies are not cheap.  Premiums can wipe out your assets especially if you go for the ideal comprehensive policy which is comprised of a long benefit period, high maximum daily benefit, short elimination period, and a 5% compound inflation protection. 

Perhaps with an annual income that exceeds $ 75,000 you can manage to buy that kind of LTCI policy, but if you’re living on a daily budget you have to study every variable stipulated on the policy before signing it.

 Long Term Care Quotes Will Lead You to the Right Policy

Although there is such a thing as an ideal LTCI policy, there is no wrong policy.  Most prefer the comprehensive LTCI policy, but to each his own that is why there are buyers of facility-only policies. 

Once you know exactly what you’ll need in the future health care wise, there is no reason to overspend on an LTCI policy just to be certain that you will receive the care that you expect. 

No need to see a fortune teller and have her read your future, instead, look up your family’s health history and visit your doctor.  If the current state of your health is good but your family has a history in a debilitating disease you have to consider that information in your plan. 

If you disregard the possibility of acquiring that health disorder in the future, you could wind up spending more out-of-pocket and your LTCI policy will fail to serve its purpose.  Look at all the possibilities because if you settle too soon for what you like rather than what you will need, you won’t be able to avoid the financial pit completely.

According to the U.S.

Department of Health and Human Services, some 40% of the total population 65 years old and older will enter a nursing home.  You may or may not be one of this 40% so wouldn’t it be nice to be prepared if ever you turn out to be on the list?

Long term care quotes will serve as prelude to your actual LTCI policy but they are more advantageous as you can do all the necessary adjustments that you deem necessary for the sake of your future.  Meanwhile, once you’ve affixed your signature on your policy there is no turning back.
