• White( 2012) 407 studies: around 50% with substance dependency
achieve remission: 20% do so through abstinence.• Cannot tell until someone is in stable remission until after 5 years• Different people have different recovery capital/ potential• Some substances are more difficult to achieve remission from
EvidenceRECOVERY OUTCOMESHeroin is sticky• First 6 mths to a yr in treatment
– most potential for change (NTA)• Drug outcomes improving in England
since mid 1990’s 75-65% heroin users stopped using 3-5 yrs (NTORS etc).
30 yr follow-up study: Grella and Lovinger (2011)Of survivers 40% in stable remission but normally after 5-8yrs in opioid substitution, 25% did not reduce use at all.
EvidenceHEALTH OUTCOMESSubstance dependence causes significant collateral health damage,directly or through associated lifestyle – smoking, diet, hygiene etc33 yr follow-up study: 50% heroin users dead (Hser 2007)• Alcohol - mental health, cognitive damage,
liver disease & and `system damage’ – cancers• Injecting drugs – infections, vein damage & DVT,
heroin overdose risk & death• Smoking tobacco, cannabis,
crack lung & heart disease • Teeth !!!
