Abstract
The findings presented tend to support already established trends reported in the literature concerning the performance of opiate users on standard psychological tests. Evidence which suggests that addicts are not functioning at full intellectual capacity was presented for the first time. Moreover, the use of psychological tests as outcome measures for drug treatment was indicated.Keywords
