Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Aims: To examine the occurrence of comorbid non-substance abuse axis-1 disorders among patients being treated for substance abuse. Design, setting and participants: Prospective study of patients admitted to a Norwegian clinic for substance abuse treatment. All patients in treatment during a 3-month period were invited to participate. Measurements: Patients were clinically interviewed and MINI and GAF were scored. Data were analysed with Chi-square tests and multiple regression analyses. Findings: Twenty-four patients (77.4%) participated, of whom 91.7% had at least one comorbid non-substance abuse axis-1 disorder. Of the patients, 70.8% had suffered a psychotic episode and prior episodes of psychosis occurred significantly more often among those who had a main abuse of amphetamines. Many patients also abused benzodiazepines and/or cannabis as secondary substances. Conclusions: A high level of prior psychotic episodes could be related to a high use of amphetamine and cannabis, and possibly to a shortage of low-threshold treatment for substance abuse in the catchment area.
