Profils des toxicomanes judiciarisés en traitement dans deux centres de réadaptation publics au Québec
The aim of this study is to acquire a better understanding of the offenders admitted to an addiction treatment facility. The sample is Two hundred and sixteen client admitted to two public addiction treatment facilities of Province of Québec. These subjects answered to the French form of the Addiction Severity Index (ASI-IGT), the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory (MCMI), the Jesness Inventory Personality Scales, and the University of Rhodes Island Change Assessment Scale (URICA). These psychometric tools are used to describe our sample. The analysis leads to two main discussion themes. First, the multiple problematics observed in our sample confront the clinicians with the difficulty to offer treatment services that will adequately answer to these various needs. Second, the low level of addiction of some clients referred by the justice system challenges the relevance to refer these clients to an addiction treatment facility.
