Abstract

Accumulating evidence suggests that treatment-seeking substance abusers have high rates of gambling problems. However, relatively little is known about the relation between gambling problems and specific psychoactive substances apart from alcohol and methadone-treated opiate addicts. In this study of 580 individuals admitted to a residential addictions program, 10.5% were found to score in the pathological gambling range on the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) within the past year. The rate of pathological gambling was much higher for cannabis abusers (24%) than for alcohol (4%), cocaine (11.5%), and opiate abusers (4.8%). Men also reported higher rates of pathological gambling (11.9%) than women (7.5%). Individuals with a pathological gambling problem tended to report family histories of gambling problems as well.

摘要

越来越多的证据表明，寻求治疗的药物滥用者存在赌博问题的比例很高。然而，除了酒精和接受美沙酮治疗的阿片类成瘾者外，人们对赌博问题与特定精神活性物质之间的关系了解相对较少。在这项对580名入住住院成瘾项目的个体的研究中，发现有10.5%的人在过去一年内在南橡树赌博筛查量表（SOGS）上的得分处于病态赌博范围。大麻滥用者的病态赌博率（24%）远高于酒精滥用者（4%）、可卡因滥用者（11.5%）和阿片类滥用者（4.8%）。男性报告的病态赌博率（11.9%）也高于女性（7.5%）。有病态赌博问题的个体往往也报告有赌博问题的家族史。
