title: [Treatment of chemically dependent patients: a program based on the Minnesota Model].
abstract: An example of the Minnesota Model adapted to a Swiss private clinic (Clinic La Métairie) is presented with the aim of showing its place in the network facilities for the treatment of addiction. The prospective study based on the Addiction Severity Index questionnaire allows to describe the characteristics of hundred patients treated during the years 2002-2003 and follow their evolution one year after the treatment. This evolution is favourable in all investigated areas; 38% of patients remained totally abstinent during one year and even the outcome of 15% of patients in relapse has improved as well.
