Abstract

A survey of admissions to Ontario's alcohol detoxication centers showed many admissions used alcohol in combination with other drugs, and a poor correspondence between self-reports and results of the urine analysis. The use of THC was more common among younger admissions with low urine alcohol levels. Benzodiazepine use was more common among referrals from hospitals, general practitioners, and those presenting with cuts and bruises.
