摘要:

SummaryThis article looks at the way we try to explain recreational drug use. Some functions of explanations are the reduction of uncertainty when faced with new phenomena; justification for our existing values and behaviour; advancement of the interests of occupational groups; and generation of policies for social control.A variety of explanations of drug use are mentioned, involving individual, social and economic perspectives and focusing on “causes” in the past, the present and the future.Research has not much contributed to our understanding of recreational drug use because it has restricted itself to examination of the past histories of individuals. Only when we analyse experience and behaviour as purposive and located within a social context will we be able to improve the quality of our explanations and of our social polic

摘要:

SummaryThree methadone units at the Lower Eastside Service Center terminated 110 patients over a 16‐month period. Nine were transferred, therefore 85 males and 16 females constituted the methadone terminations; a total of 101, or 18 per cent of the methadone admissions.Ten per cent of the terminations voluntarily detoxified under planned medical care of which half appeared to be making successful sound adjustments.Thirty‐nine unilaterally discontinued attending and disappeared from clinic contact which represented the largest single disposition.Fifty‐two per cent involuntarily detoxified due to adjustment problems. Twenty‐one per cent had been imprisoned and 14 per cent were terminated by the clinic for abusive behavior.There was one readmission.The terminations generally reflected the ethnic composition of the clinics with Puerto Ricans representing about half the population. There was an absence of black patients terminated for abusive behavior. Drug abuse as a cause of termination was higher among whites as compared to other ethnic groups.The data indicates need for research follow‐up with unilateral terminations to study the results of their disappearance and for clinical support with the planned detoxifications to assist in their a

摘要:

AbstractThe police records of65male heroin addicts were compared before and after admission to a methadone maintenance program for occurrences of(1)violence,(2)property, and(3)drug related arrests. Occurrences of arrests for all three categories of crime decreased while the men were in treatment, and the police records of19men who prematurely left treatment indicated that their incidences of arrests for violence, property, and drug related crimes did not increase after leaving the program. The conclusions were drawn(1)that male addicts' incidences of arrests are reduced after admission to a methadone maintenance program and(2)that dropouts from methadone maintenance have incidences of arrests comparable to those incurred while in treatment.
