DOUBLED IN ITALY cannabis and cocaine from
www.ansa.it
ROMA - Dal 2001 al 2005, gli italiani che hanno fatto uso di cannabis sono pressoché raddoppiati (da 2 a 3,8 milioni), come pure i consumatori di cocaina (da 350 mila a 700 mila). Triplicato l'uso di allucinogeni e stimolanti, diminuisce invece quello di eroina. La stima, ottenuta mediante uno studio campionario, è contenuta nella Relazione annuale al Parlamento sullo stato delle tossicodipendenze in Italia, presentata stamani. ITALIANI DISAPPROVANO EROINA E COCAINA, MENO CANNABISL'uso di eroina e cocaina è disapprovato e percepito come rischioso dagli italiani, che invece si mostrano più tolleranti rispetto al consumo di cannabis. La stima, ottenuta da uno studio campionario, è contenuta nella Relazione annuale al Parlamento status Addiction 2005, presented to the press today. About 9 million people approve of the use of hashish and marijuana, and they consider it not harmful to health. In 2005, 3 million 800 thousand Italians have used cannabis, and of these half a million are aged between 19 and 21 years. COMBINED USE GROWS, IT BEGINS WITH ALCOHOL AND TABACCOCresce the combined use of substances: studies of population samples, show that over 2 million of Italians said they had been used in the life of most illegal drugs. Projecting the data of a sample survey on the general population, are over 560 000 people in 2005 have combined use of drugs. And 'what emerges from the Annual Report to Parliament on Addiction, 2005, presented to the press today. Tobacco and alcohol are the substances of initiation for the majority of drug users, 85% of those who use cocaine and 74% of those who consume heroin claims to have started with cannabis, while 75% of consumers of cannabis and marijuana are "loyal" to their substance initiation. Alcohol, tobacco and psychotropic substances are "legal" used in combination with those "illegals", and given even more concern when one considers that one of the main risk factors associated with the use of drugs is that they have taken sedatives or tranquilizers . HEROIN ABUSE EVERY YEAR STARTS 29 thousand, COCAINAOgni 9 thousand years, in Italy, 29 000 people start to abuse 9 000 heroin and cocaine. And the people who need care are about 200 000 for opiates (heroin) and 150 000 for cocaine. And 'what emerges from the annual report to Parliament on Addiction, 2005, presented to the press today. Heroin comes in the middle Sert (public services for addiction) within 5-6 years since they began to abuse the substance, cocaine users after 6-7 years. The Sert in 2005 saw an increase in the number of those being treated: most of these are heroin addicts, but there was also an increase of problematic users of cocaine and cannabis. Just over a third of the treatments provided by public services is only psycho-social, the 29% è di tipo farmacologico e il restante è un'integrazione fra i due. Il metadone si conferma il trattamento farmacologico di elezione, e aumenta nel quinquennio il numero di trattamenti a mantenimento. Pur mancando informazioni precise sulla tipologia degli interventi effettuati dalle strutture del privato sociale e un'articolazione dettagliata dei costi sostenuti dalle amministrazioni regionali, si stima che nel 2005 siano stati impegnati sulla rete dei servizi territoriali pubblici e privati circa 790 milioni di euro. NEL 2005 603 MORTI PER OVERDOSE,SOPRATTUTTO DI EROINANel 2005 sono morti per overdose 603 persone, un dato sottostimato poiché non tiene conto dei casi in cui non sia intervenuta l'Autorità Giudiziaria e dei decessi correlati diversi dall'overdose. The cause of death has been attributed in most cases heroin. And 'what emerges from the annual report to Parliament on Addiction, presented to the press today. The finding is consistent with the previous year (600), but the last two years shows an increase, which represents a reversal of the decline recorded from 1996 to 2003. It dies of overdose at home mostly. Umbria and Lazio are the regions where the highest number of overdose deaths, Perugia and Rome, the provinces most at risk. The most common infectious diseases among the people in charge of public services have hepatitis C (61.4%), hepatitis B (41.7%) and HIV (13.8%). Compared with 2001, decreases the number of people that are positive when the tests are carried out infectious diseases. 30% of subjects at the SERT was found to have a concomitant psychiatric diagnosis (the so-called "dual diagnosis"), including eight out of ten heroin addicts.
Faced with this bleak scenario, the proposal of the Minister Ferrero was to be more permissive with drug users.
is yet another demonstration of the incompetence of our current institutions and who represents them ...
