Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The number of drug or alcohol dependent inmates has increased dramatically in recent years. About half of all inmates meet DSM-IV criteria for dependence at the tune of their arrest and require substance use treatment or- detoxification. Few inmates receive treatment while in prison, increasing the likelihood that they will continue to use substances in prison and after- release. While pharmacotherapy interventions have been shown to be effective with substance users in the community, few studies have investigated these treatments with a prison population. Further research is needed to better understand the feasibility and efficacy of providing pharmacotherapies for substance dependence disorders within this population. (Editor's abstract.)
