摘要
Prior research has indicated that the majority of people who resolve an alcohol problem or from smoking cigarettes do so without treatment. However, no similar data have been available for other drug resolutions. This article explores the service use of former drug users employing data from the 1994 Canadian Alcohol and Drug survey. It is concluded that, as for alcohol and smoking, the majority of individuals stop their drug use without treatment. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
