ABSTRACT

All the cultures and societies have consumed and used the drugs with very different objectives. Nowadays, the alcoholism is the most relevant drug addiction, and the cocaine is the most frequently consumed psycho-active substance after the alcohol, the tobacco and the cannabis. These motivated the authors to carry out a research in which they could determine the behavior of the evolution before entering the hospital and the beginning of the drug consumption in alcoholics and cocaine consumers, and the way they comparatively relate, because the authors experimented the relevance of these variables in the beginning of these addictions.There were included 172 male patients in the research, 37 cocaine addicted and 135 alcoholics who entered La Habana Psychiatric Hospital Comandante Dr. Eduardo Bernabé Ordaz Ducungé. They applied specific instruments and validated structured interviews, and used the t test, Chi-squared and Odd ratios, with a signification level of 5 %. The selected variables were: evolution of the current addiction before entering the hospital, factors leading to the consumption beginning, inducing factors in the place where consumption began, and providing factors in the consumption beginning. The evolution of the patients of both addictions before entering the hospital showed different and extremely significant characteristics; the cocaine addicted patients had a very fast bio-psycho- social decline, and the alcoholics had a slower decline. The factors inducing the drug addiction, the place where the addiction began and the providing factors had very different characteristics in both studied addictions.
