Characteristics and Outcomes of Adult Opiate Users in Abstinence-Based Resid...Siobhan Morse
Prior research in this population suggests that, overall, opiate and non-opiate addicted users have different issues and ought to be treated differently for their addiction—and that young and older adult opiate users present at treatment with different issues. This study investigated what significant differences in treatment motivation, length and outcome, if any, exist between opiate and non-opiate users and further investigates young adult (18-25 years of age) and older adult (26 and older) opiate users and the impact of any differences. Data for this study was drawn from 1972 individuals who entered voluntary, private, residential drug treatment and rehab. Study measures included the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), the Treatment Service Review (TSR), and the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA). Interviews were conducted at program intake and six-months post-discharge. Implications for addiction treatment providers and planners are discussed.
