Résumé : | The drug issue appeared in France at the end of the 1960s, and was seen as a problem essentially affecting young people at the time. Data available for the period 1993-2007 reveal a marked trend in the ageing of drug users seeking help in the specialised centres, the proportion of those aged 40 or over increasing from less than 4% to over 21%. Drug use, initially a symptom of troubled youth, progressively became a sign of the social crisis which affected France at the end of the 1970s and in the 1980s. The image, albeit very patchy, which emerges from the information available in the TDI on users aged 40 or over in contact with the care system is one of a population mainly with problem opiate and cocaine use.
