Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Des patients suivant 3 programmes de maintenance différents, font état de leur consommation de benzodiazépines ou de babituriques respectivement pour 94 %, 78 % et 86 % d'entre eux. Le Diazépam, le Lorazépam et l'alprazolam sont les plus utilisés, pour leurs effets et pour la revente.
ENGLISH :
Clients at three geographically separate methadone maintenance clinics were surveyed regarding their lifetime use of ten commonly used benzodiazepines and barbiturates. In Baltimore (n = 50), 94 % reported use of one or more of these drugs in their lifetime, with 66 % reporting use in the last 6 months. In Philadephia (n = 218), 78 % reported use in their lifetime, with 53 % reporting use in the last 6 months. In New York City (The Bronx) (n = 279), 86 % reported use in their lifetime, with 44 % reporting use in the last 6 months. They reported that, diazepam, lorazepam, and alprazolam were frequently used for their 'high' producing effects, and for selling to produce income. In contrast, chlordiazepoxide, oxazepam, and phenobarbital, had much lower ratings of 'high' and were much less likely to be obtained for getting 'high' or for resale.
