摘要：

The present study investigated the prevalence of untreated drug remissions in a representative sample of respondents who had a lifetime diagnosis of one of five types of illicit drug dependence in the past (cannabis, cocaine/crack, hallucinogens, amphetamines, or heroin) but no diagnosis of drug abuse or dependence in the last year. It was concluded that, among recovered individuals with previous clinically significant drug concerns (as measured using DSM-IV criteria), a substantial proportion had accessed addictions treatment services prior to remission.
