Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
A partir d'interviews de 101 héroïnomanes, il ressort que ces patients qui suivent une cure dans un service de désintoxication sont moins "enfoncés" dans la toxicomanie, alors que les toxicomanes lourds cherchent moins à se sevrer.
ENGLISH :
Interviews were conducted with 101 heroin dependent persons entering a residential drug-free detoxification unit in 1989. These self-report data were compared with those previously collected in 1985-6 from 457 methadone maintenance patients. The detoxification patients injected less frequently, used less heroin, had been physically dependent for a shorter period and were more likely to be single, unemployed and to have been charged with a criminal offence in the last 12 months. It is suggested that these findings may indicate that addicts who use more heroin are less likely to seek drug-free detoxification.
