    This study addresses the need for effective intervention services for elderly individuals with chemical dependency. The Elders Health Program demonstrates a successful approach by integrating standard treatment strategies with an understanding of aging.

    Area of Science:

    • Gerontology
    • Addiction Medicine
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Chemical dependency is a significant issue in the geriatric population.
    • Existing literature primarily focuses on identifying problems, with limited attention to service provision for chemically dependent elderly individuals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To design an intervention process for the chemically dependent elderly.
    • To integrate current chemical dependency treatment strategies with an understanding of normal aging processes.
    • To improve the well-being of elderly clients through effective intervention.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a unified and informed intervention team.
    • Application of strategies from current chemical dependency treatment facilities.

  • Consideration of normal aging changes in the intervention design.

    • Main Results:

    • The Elders Health Program successfully created a framework for intervention.
    • The program demonstrated the utility of leveraging or establishing a client support network.
    • The intervention process facilitated client acceptance of the need for change.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective intervention for chemical dependency in the elderly is achievable.
    • A multidisciplinary team approach, sensitive to aging, is crucial.
    • Utilizing a client's network enhances treatment engagement and outcomes.
