Abstract:
The severity of cocaine dependence of 39 hospitalized patients was assessed by administering the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R. No significant relationship was found between severity of cocaine dependence and cocaine use at 3-month follow-up. These findings suggest that severity of cocaine dependence may be a poor predictor of relapse to cocaine use.
