Examination was made of differences between the demographic and drug-using characteristics of 2,262 persons admitted to rural drug abuse units and 8,017 persons admitted to urban drug abuse treatment units in eight states. Rural clients were far more likely to report marijuana and urban clients to report heroin as their primary drugs of abuse; urban clients were also more likely to be older. Rural opiate users were also more likely to report nondaily use of heroin and were more likely to enter treatment at a younger age than their urban heroin-using counterparts. Implications of these findings for treatment are discussed.
对八个州农村药物滥用治疗机构收治的2262人和城市药物滥用治疗机构收治的8017人的人口统计学特征和用药特征差异进行了调查。农村患者更有可能报告将大麻作为主要滥用药物，而城市患者则更有可能报告将海洛因作为主要滥用药物；城市患者年龄也更大。农村阿片类药物使用者也更有可能报告非每日使用海洛因，并且比城市海洛因使用者更有可能在更年轻的时候接受治疗。讨论了这些研究结果对治疗的影响。
