Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Semistructured interviews with 5 counselors from an inpatient program, 9 counselors from a methadone program, and 18 methadone treatment clients in Philadelphia 6-7 months after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks found that staff and client reactions to the attacks were similar to those of people throughout the United States - stress, sadness, shock, anger, and some sleep disturbance. Heightened anger was more manifest among male clients, while females were likely to experience fear and anxiety. Among clients with existing panic disorders, persistent fear continued to be disabling. Client behaviors did not change substantially after the attacks, and there was no evidence of relapse. However, several clients reported increased use of benzodiazepines to calm down or increased use of other drugs for a brief period of time. Street drug sales did not change. Client behaviors returned to normal, aside from some lingering fears about security. Both counselors and clients agreed there was a need for a specific disaster plan in the event of future crises.
