title: [Drug-assisted treatment of substance dependence (Drug and Alcohol Symposium, Basel 1992)].
abstract: The report on the symposium is an interim account of the treatment of drug addiction in Switzerland. The spread of drugs could not be halted by prohibition. The ideal of a drug-free society does not seem to be translatable into reality. Hence, it is unrealistic to set up continence or sobriety as a goal in the treatment of all addicts, for a proportion of drug dependents or addicts is bypassed or not addressed at all. New approaches based on pharmaceuticals an assisting medication, combined with a diversified allocation of drugs, are under discussion.
