A 12-year follow-up of a sample of patients dependent upon heroin

Heroin addiction is a chronic, relapsing and remitting condition. Each year 2-5% of addicts discontinue drug use permanently and 1-2% die, mostly of overdose (Robins, 1993). A study of 129 opiate-addicted patients on a monthly maintenance regimen found that those with a family history of opium use h...

description Heroin addiction is a chronic, relapsing and remitting condition. Each year 2-5% of addicts discontinue drug use permanently and 1-2% die, mostly of overdose (Robins, 1993). A study of 129 opiate-addicted patients on a monthly maintenance regimen found that those with a family history of opium use had an earlier age at onset (Chaudhry , 1991). Long-term follow-up studies of people who misuse opiates have revealed that opioid dependence appears to run a chronic, relapsing and remitting course with a significant mortality (10-15%) over 10 years (Robson, 1992). Metrebian (1998) reported that long-term heroin abstinence was associated with less criminality, psychological distress and morbidity; Hser (2001) reported it was associated with higher employment rates.
