We assessed the attitudes, knowledge, and perceptions of Chinese doctors who worked with drug abusers to provide direction for planned drug and alcohol education and training. A 34-item questionnaire was developed; 523 copies were distributed and 446 (84.5%) validated copies were collected. Half of the respondents (50.0%) had no formal training before they started treating drug abusers. Among them, only 16.6% were psychiatrists. Less than half of the respondents agreed that drug abuse (addiction) is a brain disorder. Male and female doctors and doctors from different facilities tended to have different opinions on reasons for relapse, efficacy of treatments, and awareness of treatment modalities, among others. Doctors from involuntary facilities were more likely to disagree with the idea that drug addiction is a brain disorder and favored compulsory treatment. Doctors involved in drug abuse treatment in China are not well prepared or experienced in drug abuse treatment and have negative attitudes toward drug abuse and abusers.
