Detailed interview data from 250 male narcotic addicts attending methadone maintenance treatment centers in Baltimore and New York City were used to confirm and extend previous findings regarding the frequency of nonnarcotic drug abuse among relevant addict subgroups. Consistent with earlier results, abuse of nonnarcotic drugs in general, and particularly cocaine, was higher during periods of addiction than during periods of nonaddiction. Overall, marijuana and cocaine were the two main drugs of abuse, but variations were present according to addiction status period, city, and ethnic group membership. Relationships between cocaine use and specific types of criminal activity were also examined. It was found that there were high associations between cocaine use and several different kinds of crime.
来自巴尔的摩和纽约市美沙酮维持治疗中心的250名男性麻醉品成瘾者的详细访谈数据，被用于确认和扩展先前有关相关成瘾亚组中非麻醉品药物滥用频率的研究结果。与早期结果一致，一般而言，非麻醉品药物的滥用，尤其是可卡因的滥用，在成瘾期间高于非成瘾期间。总体而言，大麻和可卡因是两种主要的滥用药物，但根据成瘾状态时期、城市和种族群体成员身份存在差异。还研究了可卡因使用与特定类型犯罪活动之间的关系。结果发现，可卡因使用与几种不同类型的犯罪之间存在高度关联。
