As global health endeavors increasingly encompass efforts to prevent and treat mental illness in the developing world, it is important to build a base of knowledge of existing treatment models and experimental outcomes.
This article reviews the current literature on substance use disorder treatment in countries with a high, medium, or low Human Development Index according to the 2011 United Nations Development Programme Report.
We searched the databases PubMed, PsycINFO, and Global Health using search terms such as substance abuse treatment developing countries, addiction developing nations, and alcohol abuse developing countries. Opinion pieces and articles published before 1994 were excluded. Thirty relevant articles (excluding those reviewed for background information) were identified.
Comprehensive overviews of treatment models were markedly absent from the current literature. However, existing research highlights specific areas of need, which may serve as a guide for future research and program development.
In light of the evident need for treatment of substance use disorder in developing countries, future research would do well to blend inquiry with practice. Although further investigation is needed to fully understand the specific needs of developing world populations, assisting those populations should be a primary goal.
随着全球卫生事业越来越多地致力于在发展中国家预防和治疗精神疾病，建立现有治疗模式和实验结果知识库非常重要。
本文根据联合国开发计划署 2011 年报告，对人类发展指数较高、中、低的国家的物质使用障碍治疗的现有文献进行了综述。
我们使用了“物质滥用治疗发展中国家”、“成瘾治疗发展中国家”和“酒精滥用治疗发展中国家”等搜索词，在 PubMed、PsycINFO 和 Global Health 数据库中进行了搜索。排除了 1994 年以前发表的观点文章和文章。确定了 30 篇相关文章（不包括用于背景信息的综述文章）。
目前的文献中明显缺乏对治疗模式的全面概述。然而，现有研究强调了特定的需求领域，这可能为未来的研究和项目发展提供指导。
鉴于发展中国家对物质使用障碍治疗的明显需求，未来的研究最好将探究与实践相结合。尽管需要进一步调查以充分了解发展中世界人口的具体需求，但帮助这些人群应该是首要目标。
