Long-term behavioral outcome status of 990 daily opioid users, recorded in follow-up interviews about six years after admission to community-based treatment programs, was classified in terms of longitudinal patterns of opioid use. Sixty-one percent of these individuals had achieved abstinence from opioid drugs for a year or longer immediately before the follow-up interview. Compared with those who continued heavy opioid drug use, and with others who had problems with nonopioid drugs or alcohol over time, persons who achieved abstinence also had significantly better long-term outcomes on criminality, use of nonopioid drugs and alcohol, and productive activities. Except for criminal history, outcome status was generally unrelated to client demographic and background predictors, but behavioral improvements over time were strongly associated with participation in drug abuse treatment.
在进入社区治疗项目约六年后的随访访谈中，记录了990名每日使用阿片类药物者的长期行为结果状况，并根据阿片类药物使用的纵向模式进行了分类。在随访访谈前，这些人中61%已戒除阿片类药物达一年或更长时间。与那些继续大量使用阿片类药物的人以及那些随着时间推移在非阿片类药物或酒精使用方面存在问题的人相比，实现戒除的人在犯罪、非阿片类药物和酒精使用以及生产性活动方面的长期结果也明显更好。除犯罪史外，结果状况一般与客户的人口统计学和背景预测因素无关，但随着时间推移行为的改善与参与药物滥用治疗密切相关。
