Whole Life Insurance is a life insurance policy that remains in force for the insured's whole life and requires premiums to be paid every year into the policy. There are several types of whole life insurance policies.Some traditional forms: non-participating, participating, indeterminate premium, economic, limited pay, and single premium. A newer type is known generally as interest sensitive whole life. Other jurisdictions may classify them differently, and not all companies offer all types. It should be noted that there are as many types of insurance policies as can be written in their contracts while staying within the law's guidelines.

Group Counseling

Many therapeutic settings employ group therapy to capitalize on the social reinforcement of peer discussion and to help promote lifestyles without drugs. Research suggests that successful steps in recovery occur when group therapy and individualized drug counseling reflect the principles of cognitive behavioral therapy or contingency management. Currently, researchers are testing conditions for standardizing group therapy by making it more accessible to the community. Research of criminals who are involved drug addicts suggests that combining criminal justice sanctions with drug treatment is an effective approach to decreasing drug abuse and related crime. Individuals under legal obligations tend to stay in treatment longer and do as well as or better than those not under legal pressure. Often, drug abusers enter the criminal justice system earlier than other health or social systems, presenting opportunities for intervention and treatment before, during, after or in lieu of incarceration. The intervention may interrupt and shorten a career of drug use. Each approach to drug treatment addresses certain aspects of drug addiction and related consequences for the individual, family and society.

Alcohol

Disulfiram also known as Antabuse is an aversion therapy that induces nausea when a person consumes alcohol. Acamprosate works by restoring normal balance to the glutamate neurotransmitter system in the brain, helping to reduce alcohol cravings. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves the use of Naltrexone, which blocks some of the pleasurable effects of alcohol.

Infectious Diseases among Drug Abusing Offenders

It is critical for the criminal justice and drug abuse treatment systems to work together and combine efforts to reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, which occur at higher rates among drug abusers in the criminal justice system than among the general population. The prevalence of AIDS is approximately five times higher among incarcerated offenders than in the general population. In addition, individuals in the criminal justice system represent a significant portion of hepatitis B, hepatitis C and tuberculosis cases in the United States. Although most people contract infectious diseases in the community and not in correctional settings, the correctional setting must treat these infectious diseases once diagnosed.
Infectious diseases among offenders who re-enter or live within the community present a serious public health challenge. While incarcerated, offenders often have access to adequate healthcare, which offers opportunities for integrating strategies to address medical, mental health and drug abuse problems. Doctors should link offenders with infectious diseases who return to the community with medical care facilities within the community before release. Community health, drug treatment and criminal justice agencies should work together to offer education, screening, counseling, prevention and treatment programs for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and other infectious diseases to offenders in or returning to the community. Drug abuse treatment can decrease the spread of infectious disease by reducing risky behaviors such as needle sharing and unprotected sex.
The need to negotiate access to health services and adhere to complex treatment protocols places a large burden on the addicted offender and many offenders fall through the cracks. Untreated or deteriorating medical or mental health problems increase the risk of relapse to drug abuse and to possible arrest and incarceration, again.
