Aim:To describe the physical health profile of patients with drug use disorders who were included in the study of adaptation-validation of the Addiction Severity Index 6th version (ASI-6) into Spanish.Method:Multicentre, observational, longitudinal, prospective study. A total of 194 substance dependent/abuser individuals were included. Assessments were made with the Spanish ASI-6.Results:Men were 79.9%, mean ages were 41.08 (SD 11.64), 42.3% were single and 87.6% were acute patients. The severity score in the Physical Health area was 44.32 (SD 9.51). The most prevalent diseases were: 25.3% hepatitis, 11.9% had high blood pressure, 8.2% cirrhosis or hepatic disease, 6.7% epilepsy or convulsions and 5.7% tuberculoses. No statistically significant differences were found according to gender. Acute patients had statistically significant higher proportion of pregnant woman (2.3% vs. 0% p< 0.05) and lower proportion of diabetes (3.5% vs. 12.5% p= 0.05).Conclusions:Patients with drug use disorders have a mild-moderate severity of physical health. Physical health is not influenced by gender, but it is by the clinical state.

We compared overall treatment satisfaction and helpfulness of treatment components for 216 clients randomly assigned to day versus residential treatment. Baseline interviews were conducted near admission using the Addiction Severity Index, Beck Depression Inventory, Symptom Check-list-90-R, and a social support measure. Follow-up interviews occurred 6 months later with these instruments plus a client satisfaction measure. Clients in both day and residential treatment were highly satisfied with overall services and most treatment components. Satisfaction scores were high and did not differ between modalities; however, mental health services were less helpful to day treatment clients, and more day treatment clients indicated not receiving certain treatment components. Client satisfaction correlated with treatment retention and several baseline and 6-month severity outcomes. These findings indicate day treatment may be as satisfying to clients as residential treatment, and give credence to the idea that client satisfaction assessment should be routine in outcome evaluations of drug abuse treatment.

Drug Use Pattern

Drug abuse has become severe not just in the world but also in Indonesia. To address this problem, public policies and researcher try to understand the drug use pattern. One of the famous concept in drug use pattern is gatheway hypothesis.  The gateway hypothesis refers to the pattern of substance use initiate softer drug lead to the harder drug. However, many literature shows drug use pattern is not just gateway pattern, there is reversal pattern and using both gateway and reversal pattern. Many studies have discussed the relationship between drug use and individual characteristics. However, few of them are relatively link between individual characteristics and the sequential order in drug use. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how individual characteristics are associated with the gateway pattern and other pattern for different types of drugs. We use a secondary dataset of individual drug user patients from the Rehabilitation Center of National Narcotics Board aged 14–67 years assessed using the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), employing probit and multinominal logit model. Duration are associated with initial soft drug user with gateway pattern. While alcohol use and have high education level related with initial hard drug user with reversal pattern. Interestingly, duration and alcohol use correlated with initial intermediate drug user with all kind of pattern. Prevention and intervention efforts should be targeting high-risk characteristics of people at an initial stage of drug use and progression to the next stage.
