Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Research on 12-step self-help groups documents substance use reductions, other psychological benefits, and cost-effectiveness relative to professionnel support. Such groups provide an important long-term anti-relapse support of the kind rarely available through treatment services. As such they complement rather than replace time-limited professional treatments. How therapists behave, their beliefs and their attitudes, affect how many of their patients participate in self-help groups. Training and incentives should be implemented to extend the use of evidence-based methods to promote participation. policymakers can promote and support self-help organisations without compromising their traditions or independence, improving health outcomes while containing costs.
