Abstinence in treated and untreated opiate abusers: a study of a prison sample
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
Twenty-four out of a systematic sample of 95 Mountjoy prisoners were found to have been daily users of opiates. Half of the opiate using prisoners had been abstinent before entering prison for an average of 17.5 months. However, 11 of the total 24 subjects and seven of the 12 abstinent prisoners had not been exposed to any treatment other than detoxification.
