Résumé :
ENGLISH :
SISVEA data gathered on 12,346 patients in government treatment centers (GTCs) and 9,131 patients in non-government treatment centers (NGCs) in 1999 show that most patients were multiple drug users. For example, among GTC patients (35 percent) who cited alcohol as their drug of onset, 97.5 percent progressed to the use of a second drug and 69.8 percent used a third drug; predominant among the second and third drugs used, respectively, were marijuana (34.7 and 27.8 percent) and cocaine (30.2 and 35.1 percent). The pattern was similar at NGCs and for all drugs of onset at both types of centers. At GTCs, cocaine was the most frequently reported drug of current use (about 37 percent), followed by marijuana (23 percent), inhalants (17 percent), alcohol (12 percent), and heroin (3 percent). At the NGCs, heroin was the most frequently reported drug of use (27 percent), followed closely by cocaine (26 percent), then alcohol (15 percent), marijuana (13 percent), and inhalants (7 percent). The 1999 data on 6,614 juvenile arrestees show that 38 percent had used marijuana, 22 percent inhalants, 19 percent cocaine, and 11 percent alcohol; fewer than 1 percent had used heroin. Sizable percentages of these drug-using groups were intoxicated at the time of arrest. Alcohol was implicated in most (89 percent) of the 1999 drug-related deaths. (Author' s abstract)
