Se estudia la influencia del consumo de alcohol en la recuperación de drogadictos sometidos a tratamiento. Se relacionan los niveles de consumo de drogas ilegales y de alcohol de antes, durantey después del tratamiento en una muestra de 82 pacientes seguidos durante un año y medio. Se evidencia que tras la intervención aumenta el consumo de alcohol en el 50% de adictosy llega a niveles excesivos en un 10-13%. El mayor consumo coincide con la finalización del tratamiento. Posteriormente (18 meses) baja a niveles próximos a los iniciales. Estos resultados no permiten interpretar die ho aumento mediante la hipótesis de la sustitución, es decir, el desvío del consumo hacia sustancias más toleradas socialmente
This study is about the use of alcohol and its influence during the recuperation of drug addict patients undergoing treatment. Levels of the use of illegal drugs and alcohol were compared before, during and after the treatment of 82 patients assessed over a one-and-a-half year follow-up study. The results show that after the intervention there is an increase of alcohol use by 50% of the addicts. The 10-13% exhibit excessive levels. The higher alcohol use coincide with the end of the treatment. This tendency changes later (18 months) into similar levels as the initial ones. These results do not allow to consider the aforementioned increase as a confirmation of the substitution hypothesis, that is the alcohol use-redirection towards other more socially tolerated substances.
