Conservatorship for those who suffer from chronic alcoholism

8/22/2018

Recently I was asked about conservatorships for those who suffer from alcoholism. Although LPS laws account for chronic alcoholism as one of the qualifiers for conservatorship. These people are rendered unable to provide for their basic needs due to their dependence on alcohol. They cannot keep a residence due to erratic behaviour, a job because of showing up to work under the influence, or forgetting to show up to work entirely. In my opinion from what I have seen I would say that it can happen but often the public conservator wants to see other areas of disability due to a mental illness.. IE, they want to see the conservatee has a concurrent mental illness and does not suffer from alcoholism alone. If they suffer from both then they may be considered for LPS. With alcoholism alone, the patient is placed lower on the list of urgency for the PC.. When fighting for alcoholism show any proof of inability for provide for food, shelter, and clothing. Show paperwork showing evictions, jail time for public intoxication, and receipts for alcohol over necessities. In addition, if you can show that the patient does not want to engage in therapy, AA, or other outpatient resources that would provide helpful for your case. Good luck it is very hard to obtain LPS conservatorship over someone who suffers from alcoholism alone..
