Résumé :
FRANÇAIS :
Enquête auprès des médecins de Philadelphie en vue d'estimer le nombre de patients cocaïnomanes soignés en dehors du système traditionnel de traitement de la toxicomanie. L'augmentation spectaculaire de ces patients soulève le problème de la formation des médecins généralistes sur le diagnostic et le traitement de la toxicomanie.
ENGLISH :
The number of cocaine abusers has steadily increased during the decade, a 5-year follow-up was conducted to determine if physicians in private practice have continued to see increasing numbers of cocaine-using patients. A survey of Philadelphia area physicians indicates that these physicians have continued to see growing numbers of cocaine-using patients, and that those numbers have increased dramatically. Since physicians outside the traditional substance abuse system have continued to see increasing numbers of cocaine-using patients, a need remains for increased physician education in the recognition, referral, and treatment of drug-dependent patients.
