Guardianships and Substance Abuse

I was reading an interesting article this morning located here.  The article discusses a case in Minnesota regarding whether a guardianship was appropriate for an alcoholic.  The trial court found that it was and so did the appellate court.  I have not seen much on this issue, but this may be an option also in Mississippi where a person cannot manage their affairs by opening a conservatorship or a guardianship.  The chancery court regularly does involuntary commitments for drug use and I see no reason why a conservatorship or a guardianship would not be appropriate to prevent someone from completely dissipating their assets due to substance or alcohol abuse.
