title: [Abuse of psychoactive drugs and social adjustment of psychotic patients].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Is the abuse of psychoactive drugs in psychotic patients linked to social adjustment?
  
  
  METHODS
  Fifty-five psychotic men from a detention centre or a psychiatric hospital were assessed with the Social Adjustment Scale (SAS-II) and a French version of the Phillips Rating Scale of Premorbid Adjustment in Schizophrenia.
  
  
  RESULTS
  In psychotic patients, the abuse of psychoactive drugs is linked to some indicators of social adjustment and premorbid sexual adaptation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Differences were found in some aspects of social functioning, but it is difficult to establish an overall assessment of social adjustment.
