Characteristics of Abstinent Substance Abusers Who First Sought Treatment in Adolescence.
Marshall, Michael J.; And Others
Journal of Drug Education, v24 n2 p151-62 1994
Surveyed 141 substance abusers who had 11 or more months of continuous abstinence and who first sought treatment in adolescence. Getting high for the first time at a younger age and polydrug use were significantly correlated with more relapses and less overall sobriety. There were five times more adoptees represented in the sample than would be statistically expected. (Author/NB)
