Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Although previous research provided empirical rapport for the main assumptions of the Addicted-Self (A-S) Model of recovery, it is not known whether the model predicts recovery for various gender, ethnic, age, and drug preference populations. It may be that the model predicts recovery only for some groups of addicts and should not be viewed as a general theory of the recovery process. Addressing this concern using data from the Los Angeles Target Cities Drug Treatment Enhancement Project, it was determined that only trivial population differences exist in the primary variables associaled with the A-S Model. The A-S Model predicts abstinence with about the same degree of accuracy and parsimony for all populutions. The findings indicate that the A-S Model is a general theory of drug and alcohol addictive behavior cessation. (Author' s abstract)
