Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Since the end of 2000, our Department has managed two independent research activities. The first, the VEdeTTe Study, is a national multicentric cohort study which aims to evaluate the efficacy of treatment provided by outpatient units (called Servizi Tossicodipendenze, "Ser.T." or SERTs) at national level. The second, Tracking Project, is a local form of research which was devised to "track" the careers of addicts and evaluate changes within therapeutic courses using ASI. As the Study and the Project had the same time frame, we thought it right that each should take account of the other, to yield a result capable of fulfilling the aims of both, and to exploit the potentialities of both research protocols. The preliminary results now available refer to a population consisting of subjects enrolled in 2001 and 2002, and this paper aims to investigate and describe any differences between the two main subgroups: cases of addiction to heroin and cocaine, where one or other was the primary drug abused.
