Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
L'étude a porté sur 735 personnes assignés par obligation de soins à un traitement résidentiel de 60 jours entre juillet 1994 et janvier 1997. Après sortie du traitement, ces patients utilisent moins les services de désintoxication, psychiatriques hospitaliers et de santé mentale. Ils sont plus susceptibles de participer à des traitements ambulatoires. Le taux global de mortalité est de 29,4% pour 1000 personnes par an (4 fois plus élevé que celui de la population adulte américaine).
ENGLISH :
This report compares services utilization pre-admission and post-discharge in 735 consecutive persons involuntarily committed to a chemical dependency treatment program in Washington State. Pa tients entering treatment were in their late 30s, had multiple health problems, previous arrests for misdemeanors or felonies, and minimal structured daily activities. Post discharge, there were decreases in the use of costly acute care services including detox, psychiatric hospital ization, and mental health crisis services. Patients who completed the program were less likely to use acute care services and were more likely to participate in outpatient treatment after discharge. The overall death rate of 29.4 per 1000 persons per year was 4 times greater than the age adjusted death rate for the US adult population. Further studies of other involuntary chemical dependency treatment programs are needed to evaluate the results of this report. (Author' s abstract)
