Résumé :
The aim of the study was to investigate legislation, policy and practice in relation to treatment of people with problematic drug or alcohol use in police detention in 8 EU countries (Bulgaria, Estonia, England & Wales, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania & Romania). This paper provides an analysis of the situation in the different countries with reference to the level and appropriateness of services provided in detention ranging from basic health care to access to drug and alcohol treatment and harm reduction and provides a series of useful recommendations for further improvement of the situation. Within the conclusions, appears the need for greater attention to police practice in their response to problematic drug users in the provision of drug services, harm reduction and health care. It is argued that the police and their practices are an important link between the initiatives in place for drug users and public health in the community and to some degree in prisons.
