drug abuse specialists, may have prejudices that hinder them from working with patients who have alcohol problems. They may believe that persons with alcohol problems are hopelessly unresponsive to interventions, or are 'skid row bums' or even criminals without any social redeeming value. Some in this group of professionals may have the attitude that alcoholics are morally inferior or sinful beings (Goog-ins, 1984; Willenberg and Spring, 1988). Both groups of professionals also may have the attitude that it is better not to '. . . rock the older person's boat. . .' but rather leave the situation as it is, because the older person only has a few years to live anyway. It should be pointed out that these skewed views and false beliefs are not just restricted to gerontology and alcohol/drug abuse specialists, they can be found in the general health and human service professional community as well. Even when a professional is able to recognize an older person's problem of alcohol or other and wants to help, he or she may be hampered because of a lack of knowledge and skills that would help them to effectively intervene. They may not know of the differential techniques necessary for dealing with older adults with an alcohol or other drug problem or of the special treatment resources for older persons that are available in their community (Brown, 1982). An older person also faces the additional hurdle presented by a lack of accessible and appropriate services. This is in part the result of the previously discussed attitudes and beliefs on the part of the profes-sional community. It is also a consequence of limited public funds for specialized services and caps on Medicare and private insurance cov-erage for alcohol and other drug treatment services. An example of this circumstance can be found in New York City where it is estimated that 170,000 older adults with alcoholism problems are in need of services (Batson, 1995). EVALUATION AND TREATMENT APPROACHES FOR OLDER ADULTS There is ample evidence that older persons are very responsive to help with their alcohol and other drug abuse problems. This is particu-larly true when the services offered take into account needs and issues related to physical and sensory limitations, social isolation and the fear of social stigma that is specific to this age group (Curtis, 1989; Gor-don, 1988).
