Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Etude sur le rapport entre l'absence de domicile fixe et les troubles psychiatriques associés à la toxicomanie dans une population de patients psychiatriques hospitalisés. On a observé qu'une partie des patients transitent fréquemment entre les deux situations (avec ou sans domicile fixe) et que les "sans domicile fixe" utilisent de préférence les programmes en 12 étapes des NA et AA.
ENGLISH :
The authors, in a study of 100 dually diagnosed patients admitted to a large metropolitan psychiatric hospital, found that a large portion of patients (N=46) were homeless at the time of admission. Alcohol and crack / cocaine were the most frequently used drugs. Interestingly, there were no significant differences on most parameters between those who were homeless and those who were not. The homeless population may therefore be amenable to treatment in 12-step groups, as are domiciled patients. (Extract from author's abstract)
