Abstract
Many street addicts can be rehabilitated by stopping heroin usage by methadone blockade and by giving common sense support. This approach, however, is not a cure for every addict; an undetermined proportion of addicts have additional psychopathological problems and need more specialized facilities for treatment.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
