Abstract

The use of drug use by pupils and students is a global public health problem. This consumption has a considerable impact on the physical and psychological health as well as on the academic performance of pupils and students. Objective: To understand the modalities of care for pupils and students who use drugs received at the Addiction Center of Grand-Bassam. Material and method: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study with a descriptive purpose, carried out over a period of 03 months and which covered 52 files. Results: Patients had an age between 15 and 25 years (69.20%) with a male predominance (83%) and having a first-time early use (36.5%). 61.5% had an interruption of schooling. The demand for care was mainly therapeutic injunctions (84.5%). The consequences of this drug use were the deterioration of the physical and mental health of the users, making it difficult to continue their schooling. The main psychiatric pathologies encountered were transient acute delusional psychoses (36.5%) and schizophrenia (26.9%). The most widely used drug was cannabis (69.2%). 94% of the respondents had benefited from hospitalization against 6% followed by the ambulance. All patients admitted to the centre had received withdrawal, antipsychotic treatment and psychotherapy. 85.7% of patients had a length of hospitalization of more than 30 days. Conclusion: This would achieve quality care for pupils and students who use drugs by encouraging the use of free care among this population, but also by increasing the number of adapted specialized structures that will use teams of specialized therapists.
