Abstract

The North of Market Older Women's Alcohol Program is an innovative outreach program designed to assist isolated and impoverished alcohol-dependent older women. The program utilized service components focused on "building up" the clientele and developing support networks rather than the traditional approach of first "breaking down" an alcoholic's defense barriers. Sobriety (complete abstinence) was attained by 60% of the women for a minimum of 3 months (not necessarily consecutive).
