چکیده

LE TRAITEMENT D’ENTRETIEN À LA MÉTHADONE constitue une stratégie efficace de traitement de la dépendance aux opiacés. De nombreux obstacles, y compris les stigmates que la société impose aux consommateurs d’opiacés et aux patients qui prennent de la méthadone, limitent malheureusement l’accès à ce mode de traitement. Dans ce numéro (page 395), les Drs Mark Latowsky et Evelyn Kallen discutent des origines de cette stigmatisation et proposent des solutions possibles. La stigmatisation des consommateurs d’opiacés a toutefois des racines plus complexes que celles que l’on peut traiter par les moyens proposés. Même si beaucoup des mesures que les Drs Latowsky et Kallen proposent sont valables et servent déjà en fait au Canada, il faut aller plus loin et remettre en question les attitudes de la société et des médecins face à la dépendance aux opiacés.
