Long-term residential

People with dementia and their carers require access to a variety of health and social care services for treatment, information and counselling, community-based support, respite care and long-term residential care. Treatment may include behavioural therapies (e.g. reality orientation, cognitive stimulation and validation therapy) or pharmacological treatment with acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. 

Dementia imposes substantial medical, social, psychological and financial costs on patients, their families and friends, as well as on health and social services. The progressive nature of the illness and the ageing of the population mean that many people with dementia will require intensive support and/or long-term residential or nursing home care.

There are three main types of drug treatment programs available. They are outpatient drug-free treatment, long-term residential programs, and short-term residential programs. 

Detoxification is not really treatment. It simply is a process to get a person cleaned up. Detoxification clients are certainly referred to treatment but many go back out on the street following detoxification. So, if you remove detoxification from the treatment data, nearly two-thirds of actual treatment occurred in an ambulatory, outpatient setting which is the least intensive treatment nearly 13 percent in intensive outpatient, about 11 percent was short-term residential, and 11 percent was long-term residential. 

Therefore, very few clients remained in treatment for the length of time that the National Institute on Drug Abuse recommends for significant improvement. It can also be seen that the treatments with the longest median length of stay (outpatient, intensive outpatient, and long-term residential) all had around 40 percent of clients actually completing treatment. Nearly the same number of clients in these levels of treatment either dropped out or were terminated from treatment as completed treatment. 

Reverse mortgages are designed to allow older cnstomers to borrow some of the accumulated equity in their homes. The borrowers do not make any interest payments on these loans. The return for the mortgage lenders is taken from the sale proceeds when the borrower moves, enters long-term residential care or dies. 

The extent of cleanup that is necessary to protect human health and welfare aries with different use ctitegories. Residential development is probably the most sensiti e type of land use because of the long-term and multiple e.xposure routes and because of potential e.xposure to the most sensitive population segments (e.g., children and elderly persons). E.xcavation and removal appears to be the remedial tiction alternative selected at most sites where there is redevelopment. This is because no one can guaratitee tliat a site is stife (i.e., offers zero risk) unless all contaminants are removed. Neitlier a developer nor a municipality can accept responsibility for site safety as long as haznrdous materials remain there. In situ treatment approtiches are seldom iewed is the best option because they are unproven and because 100% detoxification or stabilization caimot be achieved.

This paper touches on the chemistry of coal gasification and liquefaction comments on the current status of conversion processes and the influence of coal properties on coal performance in such processes and examines the contributions which coal conversion could make towards attainment of Canadian energy self-sufficiency. Particular attention is directed to a possible role for the medium-btu gas in long-term supply of fuel gas to residential and industrial consumers to linkages between partial conversion and thermal generation of electric energy and to coproduction of certain petrochemicals, fuel gas and liquid hydrocarbons by carbon monoxide hydrogenation. 

Michael is a 30-year-old man who has been a patient in our methadone clinic for three years. He has a ten-year history of opiate use in all, but previous treatment had been elsewhere on a detoxification basis. At one time he had strongly wished to come off drugs completely and went into a residential rehabilitation centre, but although he completed the stay satisfactorily he relapsed into heroin use soon afterwards. It is now agreed between us that his methadone treatment will need to continue long-term. 

Possible eye irritation and subjective effects (e.g., headache, nausea) reported in residential communities near hydrogen sulfide sources. Exposure causing the problems are uncertain because measurements often are of long-term averages rather than shortterm peaks.
