Untreated remissions from drug use: The predominant pathway

Article Abstract:

There are no studies examining the prevalence of untreated remissions from drug use, other than alcohol or smoking use. The service utilization of former drug users has been explored, using data from the 1994 Canadian Alcohol and Drug survey (CADS). Most prior drugs users did not come in contact with drug-treatment services, and few used alcohol-treatment services, suggesting that untreated recoveries could be the main route to recovery.

Variables modulating stress and coping that discriminate drug consumers from low or nondrug consumers

Article Abstract:

The way in which certain stress and coping variables relate to drug use was assessed in 85 men and 39 women, divided into consumers and low or nonconsumers. Results suggested that consumers exhibited significantly lower scores in self-control than low or nonconsumers. It may be important to consider such variables when planning prevention programs.
