泰国的药物治疗分为三种类型，即自愿系统、矫正系统和强制系统。后者受《吸入剂法》和公元2002年《药物成瘾者康复法》管辖。
对缓刑项目中吸入剂使用者的强制系统治疗结果进行随访，并评估医院转诊情况以及社区随访过程。
本研究采用了来自孔敬大学-越南药物使用情况调查（KKU-VOUDIT）的调查问卷，调查对象为泰国九个选定省份的人群。992人构成了研究群体，分为95名管理人员、71名利益相关者和760名吸入剂使用者。
吸入剂使用者被分为实验性（56.8%）、有害性（24.2%）、依赖性（13.9%）和精神病性（5.1%）。大多数吸入剂使用者为男性（95.0%），年龄在12至19岁之间（61.3%），单身（83.4%）。在这个群体中，15.5%是学生，45.1%是临时雇员，40.3%是失业人员。大多数吸入剂使用者从未重复使用过（72.2%）。然而，一些使用者重复使用但未被监禁（12.2%），而另一些使用者重复使用且被监禁（15.5%）。
由于目标人群是年轻人，街道行政组织、基础教育办公室和基层医疗组织应共同努力带来必要的改变。
