Solvent-inhalant abuse, existent for a century, has been gradually increasing in several sectors of our society over the last few decades. This form of substance abuse involves a variety of pharmacological agents as well as several target groups at risk. A key strategy for effective intervention is early recognition in clinical as well as other settings. Psychiatrists should appreciate the clinical manifestations of these substances because they often appear in psychiatric settings. Assessment and treatment of the solvent-inhalant abuser must take into account the special pharmacological, demographic, and ecological factors associated with this particular form of substance abuse.
吸入溶剂滥用现象已存在一个世纪，在过去几十年里，在我们社会的多个领域中呈逐渐增加之势。这种物质滥用形式涉及多种药理制剂以及几个处于风险中的目标群体。有效干预的一项关键策略是在临床及其他环境中尽早识别。精神科医生应了解这些物质的临床表现，因为它们常常出现在精神科环境中。对吸入溶剂滥用者的评估和治疗必须考虑到与这种特殊物质滥用形式相关的特殊药理、人口统计学和生态学因素。
