| Résumé : | In September 2003, the first safer injecting facility in North America opened in Vancouver, Canada. Here, injection-drug users can inject preobtained illicit drugs under medical supervision. A concern regarding such facilities is that they may lessen the likelihood that injection-drug users will seek addiction-treatment services. Randomized trials are lacking to address this concern. We assessed factors associated with time to entry into a detoxification program at one of the city's three detoxification centers. We used data collected by means of a questionnaire as part of a cohort study (supported by Health Canada) of persons who use supervised injecting facilities, called the Scientific Evaluation of Supervised Injecting (SEOSI) cohort.
