Abstract
Treatment interventions will be much more effective when delivered through facilities serving the aged, such as senior citizen programs, outpatient, geriatric, medical or psychiatric programs, nursing homes, or home-care programs. It is unlikely that significant numbers of elderly will be willing to go to alcoholism programs to deal with their problem drinking.Keywords
