Résumé :
Through a fieldwork study of the practice of methadone substitution at a French addiction clinic, the classic 'theory of action' is criticized and an alternative one proposed. A sketch of the debates among French drug specialists, drug users and legislators shows the pertinence for these practitioners of such a theoretical question; further, the ethnographic data suggest that they can be seen as actually trying out an alternative to this 'theory of action'.
