Chronic health problems, more common among the aged, often are wors ened by alcohol use. Because seniors are ex pe ri enc ing many health changes and many are also taking med i - ca tion, they need to be aware of the effects of combining their med i - ca tions with other drugs or alcohol. Medication misuse and abuse is one of the leading causes of loss of in de pen dence in frail older persons. There are a variety of services if one has a problem with alcohol and/or the misuse of prescription drugs. The two general types of services are out-patient and in-patient/ residential. Out-Patient Out-patient means that you go to the facility for the program or session(s), and then return home. These services are normally available 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
