Variation among aging alcoholic patients in treatment

R M Atkinson et al. Am J Geriatr Psychiatry. 2001 Summer.

Abstract

The authors compared demographic and clinical features of two groups of older patients with alcohol use disorders (n=205 and 124) selected before and after major program changes took place at a clinic designed specifically to treat aging alcoholic patients. Program changes (admission criteria, case-finding practices, treatments offered), significantly altered case-mix and treatment adherence. Results demonstrate variability among older alcoholic patients as well as the impact of program policies and practices on patient profiles and treatment responses.
