[Addictology, promoting users' power to act]. / Addictologie, valoriser le pouvoir d'agir des usagers.

ABSTRACT

The notion of risk reduction applies to all uses, drinking of alcohol and smoking including, addictions without drugs likewise. With regard to drugs, mentalities change. We now talk more of risks than fault or deviance. Following, collaboration between health professionals and users, sharing and cooperation are the conditions necessary to develop a modern humanist and social addictology approach.
