Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Les auteurs appartenant à l'un des deux centres français habilités à instaurer des programmes de substitution par la méthadone, exposent, à partir de l'analyse rétrospective de 50 dossiers, les arguments pour la poursuite et le développement de telles cures.
ENGLISH :
The authors have reviewed the records of 50 heroin addicts treated with methadone, a drug which, in France, is delivered under strict and daily supervision to only few patients. This retrospective study yielded the following data : (1) the success rate of maintenance treatment with methadone exceeded 50 percent and remained the same in HIV positive patients, (2) social and environmental factors predictive of poor response to methadone were the absence of professional activity at the beginning of treatment and a painfully disturbed family context. A history of trouble with the law was not a factor of poor prognosis. These data raise the problem of importance of an early treatment which might have a strong influence on subsequent developments.
