Inhalant use is a serious global problem with consequences equal to or surpassing those of other drugs. Regrettably, few prior studies have examined inhalant users' patterns of service and treatment utilization. The purpose of this study is to identify factors associated with service use and barriers to treatment among a nationally representative sample of inhalant users. Data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) reveal that among inhalant users problem severity and substance use disorder comorbidity were associated with substance abuse treatment barriers and service usage. These findings can help improve the service delivery system to provide effective treatments and reduce the risk of emergency department usage, which is among the most expensive and least effective ways to deal with substance abuse.
吸入剂使用是一个严重的全球性问题，其后果与其他毒品相当甚至超过其他毒品。遗憾的是，先前很少有研究调查过吸入剂使用者的服务和治疗利用模式。本研究的目的是确定与全国代表性吸入剂使用者样本中服务使用和治疗障碍相关的因素。来自国家酒精和相关条件流行病学调查（NESARC）的数据显示，在吸入剂使用者中，问题严重程度和物质使用障碍共病与物质滥用治疗障碍和服务使用有关。这些发现有助于改善服务提供系统，提供有效的治疗，并降低急诊部门使用的风险，急诊部门是处理物质滥用最昂贵和最无效的方式之一。
