[Rehabilitation of the elderly alcoholic].
The Authors studied 99 over 60 years old alcohol abusers, in view of their enrollment in a programme of rehabilitation. They observed that the treatment was effective, but less than it was in younger alcoholics; however, if subjects are properly selected, the efficacy is similar. In conclusion, the Authors reaffirm the importance, in spite of the difficulty, of a precocious diagnosis of alcoholism in the elderly.
